Network Server module needs some features

[chackl]

Hello!!

I used now the networkcomponents in the near past. And realy - the TCP Server need realy some features to get more security. If you have 10 Clients on a server and you want to send data only to client no.9 all clients will get the data - i solved it by using an own ID-System - Loads of traffic!!!! - On great data not useable!!! - AND - if everyone is able to listen to the server by telnet - this is realy an security problem!

Those features will fix that:
* IP-Range-Deny (Secures the server to limmit to lokal or LAN or also WAN conections)
* Send DATA to (to provide any ID or Handle to send only data to this client)
* Got DATA from (Provide an ID where the data came from)
* Disconect any ID / Handle
* List all Handles that are conected
* Server Lock down - do not accept new conections anymore - but keep all conected open

Some Extras that i would love
* DATA conecters in RED / Ruby switchable
* An Ruby output where you can re-define some funtions like ip-Deny ore to check some data before the client can conect tho the complet datasystem.

Dear DSP-Robotics and Support - please think about that

Kind Regards, C.Hackl

I'm not sure who receives e-mails from FS board/support.

I would ask Trog for direct contact to Malc.
I think if you try to write through SM pm forum or here:
http://www.synthmaker.co.uk/support.html
it's possible that Malc will get your message too.

The regular support e0mail, support@dsprobotics.com, should do just fine - Malc will see those.
