Question

I want to send two different lines of XML to a socket as follows:

         <GetServerTime UpTimeAtRequest="1919"/>

         <Subscribe FrontId="priceFeed" URI="ffo:/price/productCode=VP-4-6-"/>

I’m using Hercules to test this, but it won’t let me send it in that format. How should I delimit or format the XML above so I can send it directly to the socket with Hercules after connecting to the appropriate ip address and port?

I would be happy to send this using a WebClient or something in C# also.

Thanks.

I’ve no idea what Hercules is, but sending arbitrary data over a client is easy:

using (var client = new TcpClient())
{
    client.Connect(host, porg);
    using (var stream = client.GetStream())
    {
        // Or some other encoding, of course...
        byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlString);

        stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);

        // Whatever else you want to do...
    }
}
