Socket class done the C++ way

[Mikael S. H.]

I've been trying to make a socket class. So far, it's been up and down,
getting many different pieces of advice along the way.
Now I've made it a bit functional, although it is doing nothing to check
for errors, and is probably done terribly badly with fds and FILE*s.

Now, I've found out it should inherit the streambuf class. I've found a
class doing this, but it is way too complicated for my learning
capabilities.

Could someone please direct me to the Path that is C++?

I'm not including code, since it's probably crappy, and uses a lot of
files not relevant to this question. If you want it, just ask.

C++ Sockets is a C++ wrapper for BSD-style sockets. Its features include
transparent SOCKS4 client support and asynchronous DNS. It implements
the TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP (GET, PUT, and POST), and HTTPS (using OpenSSL)
protocols.

IMO Socket++ Library should satisfy your needs. Apart from
from being streamable it implements unix domain sockets
and internet sockets. I think it has been compiled on few
flavour of unix. For more information you can check out
the site.

It's small and has very good examples that would help you a lot
