A cross-platform networking library?


Hi,

I am writing a client-server based application and would like to be able to run the server on both windows and linux. My only real problem is networking, I don't really want to write an networking abstraction layer for this because this will probably take way to much time.

Is there somewhere a library available, preferrably in C++, that does this. Just some uniform interface that masks the networking differences between both platforms, a bit like what wxWidgets does.

Thanks,
Elluva

QT will also provide you with that support.

nspr looks like what I am looking for thanks!

btw. QT isn't GPL-ed for windows, and since it is a personnal project, I do not intend to spend money on it

I've taken another look at what I really need and noticed that the fastest way will be to write it myself .
