Hi!
I'm trying to communicate with an external server from MATLAB using tcpclient.
To test the connection, the server can be quarried with a ping sending a message in the format '{ "Ping" : 1 }', the response is '{ "Pong" : 1 }'.
Using wireshark, a correct sequence for the ping procedure is:
i.e. the server expects a tcp packet with the FIN flag enabled indicating "end of message" .
Using python the behavior can be replicated using the socket library
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('localhost', 8333))
s.sendall('{ "Ping" : 1 }'.encode())
print ('Received', data.decode())
Using Matlab and tcpclient I'm not able to get this behavior with the FIN packets, indicating end of message.
I've tried
client = tcpclient("0.0.0.0",8333,'Timeout',1)
configureTerminator(client,"CR")
response=readline(client)
but the server only response after getting a [FIN] packet, which only occurs with "delete(client)", which means I cannot handle the response as I've just deleted the client.
My question is if there's a way to sending a [FIN] packet without deleting the object handling the communication using tcpclient and Matlab?
Kind regards
