Wondering if this is possible? Basically allowing two users on different machines to communicate (TCP) but routing through a servlet located on a different server and not on either of the two machines.
Sure - why not? Plenty of examples using HTTP and browsers, with the servlet keeping track of chat "rooms" and users. There is a simple one in my Servlets and JSP book. Bill ------------------ author of:
If you are using Netscape or other browers, might have some problems. I do not have time to debug yet. Seems to be OK with IE which I have used to develop in (mistake).
With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
