Is it possible? Networking with a local server through TCP/IP

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I am not asking for all the details, just a point in the right direction. I must know what is even possible before I take on a certain job.

Can corona ‘talk’ back and forward with a server (likely linux in this case, but willing to change) on a LOCAL network?. It has to be a ‘live’ kind of communication (TCP/IP?) and not a www type protocol like http.

I have read a little on lua sockets but am still not sure what corona will allow me to do with it as there are no real examples about.

Yes, you can use lua sockets. I thought there were some examples in the Community code area or on one of the tutorial sites.

You should be aware CoronaSDK does NOT support LuaSec to create secure SSL/TLS sockets. This very significate limitation is still NOT even addressed in their roadmap. (CoronaSDK does support SSL for HTTP/HTTPS only.)

There is a good reference at the LuaSocket site:
