Sockets


Sockets first appeared in BSD UNIX (designed by Bill
Joy—also one of the originators of Java) circa 1982.
They provided a cross-protocol API for networking. The
original implementation, for example, provided access to
protocols including:
– TCP/IP
– Xerox NS
– Local UNIX inter-process communication.




Today available in Windows, through the WinSock API.
Sockets directly support a client/server architecture.
They support connection-oriented protocols like TCP, as
well as connectionless protocols like UDP.
We will only discuss the connection-oriented case.

BSD Socket Calls
Server
Network
Client
socket(): create socket
bind() : name socket
listen() :
socket() : create socket
connect():
write()
accept(): accept connection
: send request
read() : get request
. . . process request . . .
write(): send reply
read()
: get reply

Port Numbers






The bind() call on the server side establishes a wellknown address for the listening socket.
In the case of an TCP/IP socket (the only case we are
interested in) the important part of this is the port
number.
A port number is an integer between 0 and 64K.
On any given host, only one server socket can be
listening on a particular port at a particular time.
In UNIX, port numbers below 1024 can only be used by
a privileged user (the super-user). Any user can create
a server socket listening on higher ports.
Low port numbers are used by standard services, e.g.:
– 23 is the default port number for telnet
– 80 is the default port number for HTTP servers

Making a Connection





The client makes a connect() call, specifying the remote
host IP address, and the port number on that host for
the server socket it wants to connect to.
Meanwhile the server is waiting on an accept() call on
the server socket.
When the connection is established, the accept() call
completes, returning a reference to a new socket.
Data is exchanged through the socket pair consisting of
the client socket, and the new socket returned by the
accept() call on the server.
The new socket on the server typically lasts for the
duration of a single transaction with the client, although
the connection may be kept open over multiple
transactions.

Sockets in Java



Using sockets from C is traditionally quite hard. The
arguments of the BSD socket functions are complex,
presumably in part because the historical need to
support multiple protocols.
Luckily the API has been greatly simplified in the Java
binding for sockets.
The associated classes are in the package java.net.

Java Sockets from the Client Side

A Java program can open a socket connection in one step
using a constructor of the Socket class:
Socket t = new Socket(hostName, port) ;



Here hostName is a string, such as “sirah.csit.fsu.edu”,
and port argument is an integer port number, such as 80.
This Socket constructor subsumes the socket() and
connect() calls in the BSD API.
The Socket class has methods getInputStream() and
getOutputStream(). These return normal Java stream
objects that can be used to exchange data over a
connected socket pair.
The connection is bi-directional: both client an server can
read and write.

Java Sockets from the Server Side



The BSD operations socket(), bind() and listen() for a
server-side socket are subsumed in a constructor for the
ServerSocket class:
ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket(port) ;
Here port is the integer port number, such as 80 (if you
are writing a Web server), on which the server will listen.
Next the Java server will call the accept() method and wait
for clients to connect to it. accept() returns an ordinary
socket, completing the socket-pair for the connection:
Socket connection = s.accept() ;
After processing the request, the client goes back to
waiting on accept(), for new client requests.
– Real servers fork a thread or process to deal with the request, and
return immediately to waiting for the next client connection.

A Simple Client
import java.io.* ;
import java.net.* ;
public class TrivialBrowser {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Socket sock = new Socket(“aspen.csit.fsu.edu”, 80) ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(sock.getOutputStream()) ;
out.println(“GET /it1spring01/index.html HTTP/1.0”) ;
out.println(“”) ;
out.flush() ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()) ;
while(true)
String line = in.readLine ;
if(line == null) break ;
System.out.println(line) ;
}
}
}

Remarks







This implements a (drastically restricted) Web browser.
If you run this program it will print out the HTML source
for the IT1 course Home Page.
It connects to port 80 on aspen (the Web server’s port).
It gets an output stream to write to the socket using
getOuputStream().
It sends an HTTP “GET” request on the stream,
specifying the file it1spring01/index.html relative to the
server’s document root.
It gets an input stream to read from the socket using
getInputStream().
It copies lines from the socket connection to the
console.

A Simple Server
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(8080) ;
while(true) {
Socket sock = server.accept() ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()) ;
String header = in.readLine() ;
. . . skip over any other lines in request packet . . .
String fileName = getFileName(header) ; // Second field of header
byte [] bytes = readFile(“.” + fileName) ; // Contents of local file
DataOutputStream out =
new DateOutputStream(sock.getOutputStream()) ;
if( . . . ) {
// File exists and is a .html
file
out.writeBytes(“HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n”) ;
out.writeBytes(“Content-Length: ” + bytes.length + “\r\n”) ;
out.writeBytes(“Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n”) ;
out.write(bytes) ;
}

Remarks






This implements a (somewhat restricted) Web server.
It creates a server socket listening to port 8080 on the
local host.
It gets a socket connection from a client using the
accept() method, and then gets the input stream from
the socket using getInputStream().
We handle only “GET” requests; the second field will be
the file name.
It reads the file and writes it to the output stream of the
socket, in HTTP.
A real server would spawn a new thread to deal with
each transaction. The main loop would return
immediately to waiting on accept() .

URL Objects


Instead of explicitly opening a socket connection to a Web
server, a client can read information using the higher level
URL class.
A constructor takes a URL string and creates a URL
object:
URL url = new URL(“http://aspen.csit.fsu.edu/it1spring01/”) ;

This constructor may throw a MalformedURLException.

13
Reading a File Using a URL Object

Now if url is a URL object, the resource can be read by
opening a stream on the URL:
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader( url.openStream() )) ;

This example creates a character stream that can be
read like any other.

14
URL Connection Objects

A class java.net.URLConnection provides additional
functionality on URLs. A URLConnection is created by
the openConnection() method:
URL url = . . . ;
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection() ;

Methods on connection allow to return fields from the
HTTP header:
String getContentType()
int getContentLength()
...

You can also open an InputStream or OutputStream
on a URL connection. The latter is used for HTTP
“POST” requests.

Operation of Firewalls




The firewall server forwards or blocks IP packets it
receives.
Typically it will allow hosts inside the LAN to make
arbitrary connect() calls to servers outside the firewall.
So it does not prevent users inside from visiting external
Web servers, etc.
However it will block external requests to connect() to
hosts inside the firewall.
The firewall configuration can be set up to allow
connection requests to specific ports on specific hosts to
get through—for example to port 80 on the company
Web server.
