NAV 2016: How to read from a local client stream

Putting the code within a DLL wrapper would not solve the permission issue IMHO since the process itself has to be executed in elevated mode. However, the good thing is that most probably a tcpListener is not needed.

Do you think it is possible to execute the following in the command prompt?
telnet 169.254.1.2 52253

We should see the data :slight_smile:

How does it look like?

If we see the data and it is interpretable, then the C/AL code should do the following:

  • instantiate a TCP client with parameters (“169.254.1.2”, 52253)
  • read from the stream (we shall see how, since we don’t know yet whether data is binary or textual)
  • parse the weight and display it
