Security software corrupts messages

[Soot]

Hi Giuseppe,

The software is using the libcurl library (version 7.47.0) to connect to the LightStreamer server.

Could you please point me to an example how to verify the completion and correct syntax of a received message?

Best regards,

Soot

Hi Soot,

Ok, I suppose that you implement by the libcurl our Network Protocol; and from the Lightstreamer servr version you mentioned I also suppose that is the old version.
The protocol is described in this document: https://www.lightstreamer.com/repo/d...20Tutorial.pdf
And in particular the update messages are discussed in the 4.5.1 section (page 28).

Regards,
Giuseppe

How beginner-friendly is that tutorial in your opinion, Giuseppe?

Hi Hubbell,

Well, actually the "Network Protocol Tutarial" document maybe is not the best resource for a true Lightstreamer beginner.
Although enriched by the definition of basic concepts and several examples, it is rather a document defining the specifications of the protocol. Indeed in my opinion what was required by this discussion.

For a Lightstreamer beginners the best entry-level resources are:

- "General Concepts" considered as a preliminary reading (https://www.lightstreamer.com/docs/b...20Concepts.pdf);

- The "Hello World with Lightstreamer" example series, example with full desciption and source code (https://github.com/Lightstreamer?utf...ype=&language=);

- The "Quickstart" series, basic introduction to the main client APIs available (https://github.com/Lightstreamer?utf...ype=&language=).

That said, I know a few friends of mine who still prefer to start with a cold and precise description of the specifications, but I must admit that they are not so many.

Please let us know any other comments or suggestions.

Regards,
Giuseppe
