Redirecting socket stream over HTTP channel with .NET remoting.

Sample Image - TCP2HTTP.jpg

Introduction

Since this is my first uploaded project, I will be quite brief.

This simple program uses .NET remoting built in HTTP channel to establish a two-way communication channel between client and server endpoints which is adequate for firewalled and proxy environments.

Basically, at the server end, TCP2HTTPActivator registers TCP2HTTPServer which is a MarshalByRefObject class that exposes a few methods for sending and receiving socket data. When a client connects to the server, it requests a connection to a particular TCP port. Server object opens a connection to the local port and serves as a proxy between client and server sides.

At the client end, TCP2HTTPClient starts listening at a predetermined port which is used for redirecting the TCP socket data transfer over HTTP channel. When an application connects locally to a defined port, TCP2HTTPClient feeds the data to the server and backwards via sendTCPStream and receiveTCPStream methods.
