[Openmcl-devel] Playing with sockets

[Stefano Bennati]

Dear Clozure-ers,

I am trying to create a simple function that queries a server and 
returns the answer.
I am using the socket functions integrated in Clozure to do so.
Until now I succeeded in sending the request to the server with the 
following code

>     (ccl:with-open-socket (socket :address-family :internet :type
>     :stream :connect :active
>
>         :remote-host MY-HOST :remote-port MY-PORT) (format socket
>         MY-STRING))
>
But now I have no idea how to read the answer (string) that the server 
gives in response to MY-STRING.
The only function that I have found, receive-from, operates only with 
passive sockets and I cannot find the way to convert my socket into a 
passive one.
There must be a simpler way that I am missing.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

Stefano
