Initiates a connection operation.

This means that it tells the protocol to attempt to connect to a peer. It is called by the socket server in response to a connect request from a client. ActiveOpen() is only ever called on connection-oriented sockets. Such a socket should always have both the local address and the remote address specified before ActiveOpen() is called. If this is not the case, then the protocol should panic. When a connection has completed, the protocol should call ConnectComplete() on its TNotify.

If an error occurs during connection the protocol should not call ConnectComplete() at all; instead it should call Error().

Same as ActiveOpen(), but with user data in the connection frame.

Closes the connection.

Indicates that the connection has been completed.

Second phase contructor.

Tells the protocol to start waiting for an incoming connection request on this socket (i.e. port).

It is called by the socket server in response to a listen request from a client.

PassiveOpen() is only ever called on connection-oriented sockets. Such a socket should always have both the local address and the remote address specified before PassiveOpen() is called. If this is not the case, then the protocol should panic.

The protocol should keep a count of sockets in Start state - incrementing a variable in ConnectComplete(), and decrementing it in Start().

When a connection has completed, the protocol should call ConnectComplete() on its TNotify.

If an error occurs during connection the protocol should not call ConnectComplete() at all; instead it should call Error().

Same as PassiveOpen(), but with user data in the connection frame.

Process the event in the buffer.

Set the notification parent,

Sets an option.

Terminates a connection (or closes a non connection-oriented socket down).

Normally, when the socket server has called Shutdown() for a socket, it will wait for the socket to call CanClose() before destroying the CServProviderBase object.

Connection closing type.
