The Art of Socket Pairing: A Guide for the Ambitious
Tired of waiting for your web application to load in 5 seconds or less? Want to impress your clients with blistering fast page loads? Look no further! This section will guide you through the most advanced socket pairing strategies to make your web app run like a gazelle.
1. TCP Sockets for the Win!
Don't bother with those pesky HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2.0, and HTTP/3.0, just stick with good ol' TCP. It's like the granddaddy of all protocols. Fast, reliable, and still supported by grandma's dialup modem.
- Use the socketpair function to create a connection and then listen for incoming messages.
- Make sure to setsockopt for optimal performance, or else you'll be stuck in eternal loop of slow loads.
- And don't even get me started on send and recv - those two are like best friends that never get along.
