Re: [Dev-C++] serialization question

Ok handler acts like a translator?
 
a simple handshake would work.
 
E.g.
<Connection Established to client that accepts binary data>
Handler: Hello 
Client: Hello, I accept binary data.
Handler: Very well I will send binary data.
<Continue connection using binary>
 
<Connection Established to client that does not ccepts binary data>
Handler: Hello 
Client: Hello 
Handler: <Assume the client does not accept binary>.
<Continue connection using ASCII>

 
Using this method the client tells the server whether it is capable of accepting binary or not. The handler then sets up accordingly.
 
What are you capable of changing/updating? the clients, the handler or the server? I do have another method but it requires changing the clients and the handler.

  Subject: [Dev-C++] serialization   question
  

  Hi All
   
   
  I have a question regarding   serialization out. So here is the current working.
   
  Client<---->handler<----->Server
   
  in the current scenario   whenever handler learns something from Server it first (because it is in   network order) decodes the data then serializes it out and then spit   it the client and and eventually client understands the ASCII   format.
   
   
  In the new approach we are   thinking of, not decoing anything at handler level but just sending binary   data to the client and on the client side they will decode and store into the   database.
   
  now what I do not understand   is, if my handler sends binary format to the Client on the same connection on   which sometimes client does accept the ASCII data how is the client going to   diffrenciate between those two and what can I do to make it working in either   case. 
   
   
  Any suggestion/comments on   this will be appreciate on this.
  thanks
