Hi.
I've been trying to get a connection working to a PostgreSQL server
through the socket-level protocol. I've therefore been looking at
fe-connect.c and fe-protocol3.c in the src/interfaces/libpq folder.
Reading those sources, I understood, that the startup message should
begin with a request from the client with the protocol number.
In fe-protocol3.c, build_startup_message():
/* Protocol version comes first. */
if (packet)
{
ProtocolVersion pv = htonl(conn->pversion);
memcpy(packet + packet_len, &pv, sizeof(ProtocolVersion));
}
packet_len += sizeof(ProtocolVersion);
However, when I try to send this as the first thing, I get disconnected
by the server. Reading what the psql program does, I first get an 8 byte
message containing this:
\000\000\000\008\004\210\022/
This seems to work, but I'm at a loss pinpointing in the libpq source
code where that would fit in the protocol.
Enlightenment would be very welcome.
