** TLS operations was moved to the [TLS](tls.md) module **
## Constants
Constants to be used in other functions: `net.TCP`, `net.UDP`
## net.createConnection()
Creates a TCP client.
#### Syntax
`net.createConnection()`
#### Returns
- net.socket sub module
#### See also
[`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver), [`net.createUDPSocket()`](#netcreateudpsocket), [`tls.createConnection()`](tls.md#tlscreateconnection)
## net.createServer()
Creates a TCP listening socket (a server).
#### Syntax
`net.createServer(timeout)`
#### Parameters
- `timeout`: seconds until disconnecting an inactive client; 1~28'800 seconds, 30 sec by default.
#### Returns
- net.server sub module
#### Example
```lua
net.createServer(30) -- 30s timeout
```
#### See also
[`net.createConnection()`](#netcreateconnection), [`net.createUDPSocket()`](#netcreateudpsocket)
## net.createUDPSocket()
Creates an UDP socket.
#### Syntax
`net.createUDPSocket()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
[net.udpsocket sub module](#netudpsocket-module)
#### See also
[`net.createConnection()`](#netcreateconnection)
## net.ifinfo()
Return information about a network interface, specified by index.
#### Syntax
`net.ifinfo(if_index)`
#### Parameters
- `if_index` the interface index; on ESP8266, `0` is the wifi client (STA) and `1`
is the wifi AP.
#### Returns
`nil` if the given `if_index` does not correspond to an interface. Otherwise,
a table containing ...
* `ip`, `netmask`, and `gateway` configured for this interface, as dotted quad strings
or `nil` if none is set.
* if DHCP was used to configure the interface, then `dhcp` will be a table containing...
* `server_ip` -- the DHCP server itself, as a dotted quad
* `client_ip` -- the IP address suggested for the client; likely, this equals `ip`
above, unless the configuration has been overridden.
* `ntp_server` -- the NTP server suggested by the DHCP server.
DNS servers are not tracked per-interface in LwIP and, as such, are not
reported here; use [`net.dns:getdnsserver()`](#netdnsgetdnsserver).
#### Example
`print(net.ifinfo(0).dhcp.ntp_server)` will show the NTP server suggested by
the DHCP server.
## net.multicastJoin()
Join multicast group.
#### Syntax
`net.multicastJoin(if_ip, multicast_ip)`
#### Parameters
- `if_ip` string containing the interface ip to join the multicast group. "any" or "" affects all interfaces.
- `multicast_ip` of the group to join
#### Returns
`nil`
## net.multicastLeave()
Leave multicast group.
#### Syntax
`net.multicastLeave(if_ip, multicast_ip)`
#### Parameters
- `if_ip` string containing the interface ip to leave the multicast group. "any" or "" affects all interfaces.
- `multicast_ip` of the group to leave
#### Returns
`nil`
# net.server Module
## net.server:close()
Closes the server.
#### Syntax
`net.server.close()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
-- creates a server
sv = net.createServer(net.TCP, 30)
-- closes the server
sv:close()
```
#### See also
[`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
## net.server:listen()
Listen on port from IP address.
#### Syntax
`net.server.listen([port],[ip],function(net.socket))`
#### Parameters
- `port` port number, can be omitted (random port will be chosen)
- `ip` IP address string, can be omitted
- `function(net.socket)` callback function, pass to caller function as param if a connection is created successfully
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
-- server listens on 80, if data received, print data to console and send "hello world" back to caller
-- 30s time out for a inactive client
sv = net.createServer(net.TCP, 30)
function receiver(sck, data)
print(data)
sck:close()
end
if sv then
sv:listen(80, function(conn)
conn:on("receive", receiver)
conn:send("hello world")
end)
end
```
#### See also
[`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
## net.server:getaddr()
Returns server local address/port.
#### Syntax
`net.server.getaddr()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`port`, `ip` (or `nil, nil` if not listening)
#### See also
[`net.server:listen()`](#netserverlisten)
# net.socket Module
## net.socket:close()
Closes socket.
#### Syntax
`close()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
## net.socket:connect()
Connect to a remote server.
#### Syntax
`connect(port, ip|domain)`
#### Parameters
- `port` port number
- `ip` IP address or domain name string
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.socket:on()`](#netsocketon)
## net.socket:dns()
Provides DNS resolution for a hostname.
#### Syntax
`dns(domain, function(net.socket, ip))`
#### Parameters
- `domain` domain name
- `function(net.socket, ip)` callback function. The first parameter is the socket, the second parameter is the IP address as a string.
If a callback `c` is provided, it is equivalent to having called `:on("dns",
c)` on this socket; this callback will, hereafter, receive any pending
resolution results recieved for this socket!
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
sk = net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
sk:dns("www.nodemcu.com", function(conn, ip) print(ip) end)
sk = nil
```
#### See also
[`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
## net.socket:getpeer()
Retrieve port and ip of remote peer.
#### Syntax
`getpeer()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`port`, `ip` (or `nil, nil` if not connected)
## net.socket:getaddr()
Retrieve local port and ip of socket.
#### Syntax
`getaddr()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`port`, `ip` (or `nil, nil` if not connected)
## net.socket:hold()
Throttle data reception by placing a request to block the TCP receive function. This request is not effective immediately, Espressif recommends to call it while reserving 5*1460 bytes of memory.
#### Syntax
`hold()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.socket:unhold()`](#netsocketunhold)
## net.socket:on()
Register callback functions for specific events.
#### Syntax
`on(event, function())`
#### Parameters
- `event` string, which can be "connection", "reconnection", "disconnection", "receive" or "sent"
- `function(net.socket[, string])` callback function. Can be `nil` to remove callback.
The first parameter of callback is the socket.
- If event is "receive", the second parameter is the received data as string.
- If event is "disconnection" or "reconnection", the second parameter is error code.
If reconnection event is specified, disconnection receives only "normal close" events.
Otherwise, all connection errors (with normal close) passed to disconnection event.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
srv = net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
srv:on("receive", function(sck, c) print(c) end)
-- Wait for connection before sending.
srv:on("connection", function(sck, c)
-- 'Connection: close' rather than 'Connection: keep-alive' to have server
-- initiate a close of the connection after final response (frees memory
-- earlier here), https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.6
sck:send("GET /get HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: httpbin.org\r\nConnection: close\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n")
end)
srv:connect(80,"httpbin.org")
```
!!! note
The `receive` event is fired for every network frame! Hence, if the data sent to the device exceeds 1460 bytes (derived from [Ethernet frame size](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame)) it will fire more than once. There may be other situations where incoming data is split across multiple frames (e.g. HTTP POST with `multipart/form-data`). You need to manually buffer the data and find means to determine if all data was received.
```lua
local buffer = nil
srv:on("receive", function(sck, c)
if buffer == nil then
buffer = c
else
buffer = buffer .. c
end
end)
-- throttling could be implemented using socket:hold()
-- example: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/blob/master/lua_examples/pcm/play_network.lua#L83
```
#### See also
- [`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
- [`net.socket:hold()`](#netsockethold)
## net.socket:send()
Sends data to remote peer.
#### Syntax
`send(string[, function(sent)])`
`sck:send(data, fnA)` is functionally equivalent to `sck:send(data) sck:on("sent", fnA)`.
#### Parameters
- `string` data in string which will be sent to server
- `function(sent)` callback function for sending string
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Note
Multiple consecutive `send()` calls aren't guaranteed to work (and often don't) as network requests are treated as separate tasks by the SDK. Instead, subscribe to the "sent" event on the socket and send additional data (or close) in that callback. See [#730](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/730#issuecomment-154241161) for details.
#### Example
```lua
srv = net.createServer(net.TCP)
function receiver(sck, data)
local response = {}
-- if you're sending back HTML over HTTP you'll want something like this instead
-- local response = {"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: NodeMCU on ESP8266\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"}
response[#response + 1] = "lots of data"
response[#response + 1] = "even more data"
response[#response + 1] = "e.g. content read from a file"
-- sends and removes the first element from the 'response' table
local function send(localSocket)
if #response > 0 then
localSocket:send(table.remove(response, 1))
else
localSocket:close()
response = nil
end
end
-- triggers the send() function again once the first chunk of data was sent
sck:on("sent", send)
send(sck)
end
srv:listen(80, function(conn)
conn:on("receive", receiver)
end)
```
If you do not or can not keep all the data you send back in memory at one time (remember that `response` is an aggregation) you may use explicit callbacks instead of building up a table like so:
```lua
sck:send(header, function()
local data1 = "some large chunk of dynamically loaded data"
sck:send(data1, function()
local data2 = "even more dynamically loaded data"
sck:send(data2, function(sk)
sk:close()
end)
end)
end)
```

[`net.socket:on()`](#netsocketon)
## net.socket:ttl()
Changes or retrieves Time-To-Live value on socket.
#### Syntax
`ttl([ttl])`
#### Parameters
- `ttl` (optional) new time-to-live value
#### Returns
current / new ttl value
#### Example
```lua
sk = net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
sk:connect(80, '192.168.1.1')
sk:ttl(1) -- restrict frames to single subnet
```
#### See also
[`net.createConnection()`](#netcreateconnection)
## net.socket:unhold()
Unblock TCP receiving data by revocation of a preceding `hold()`.
#### Syntax
`unhold()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.socket:hold()`](#netsockethold)
# net.udpsocket Module
Remember that in contrast to TCP [UDP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol) is connectionless. Therefore, there is a minor but natural mismatch as for TCP/UDP functions in this module. While you would call [net.createConnection()](#netcreateconnection) for TCP it is [net.createUDPSocket()](#netcreateudpsocket) for UDP.
Other points worth noting:
- UDP sockets do not have a connection callback for the [`listen`](#netudpsocketlisten) function.
- UDP sockets do not have a `connect` function. Remote IP and port thus need to be defined in [`send()`](#netudpsocketsend).
- UDP socket's `receive` callback receives port/ip after the `data` argument.
## net.udpsocket:close()
Closes UDP socket.
The syntax and functional identical to [`net.socket:close()`](#netsocketclose).
## net.udpsocket:listen()
Listen on port from IP address.
The syntax and functional similar to [`net.server:listen()`](#netserverlisten), but callback parameter is not provided.
## net.udpsocket:on()
Register callback functions for specific events.
The syntax and functional similar to [`net.socket:on()`](#netsocketon). However, only "receive", "sent" and "dns" are supported events.
!!! note
The `receive` callback receives `port` and `ip` *after* the `data` argument.
## net.udpsocket:send()
Sends data to specific remote peer.
#### Syntax
`send(port, ip, data)`
#### Parameters
- `port` remote socket port
- `ip` remote socket IP
- `data` the payload to send
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
udpSocket = net.createUDPSocket()
udpSocket:listen(5000)
udpSocket:on("receive", function(s, data, port, ip)
print(string.format("received '%s' from %s:%d", data, ip, port))
s:send(port, ip, "echo: " .. data)
end)
port, ip = udpSocket:getaddr()
print(string.format("local UDP socket address / port: %s:%d", ip, port))
```
On *nix systems that can then be tested by issuing
```
echo -n "foo" | nc -w1 -u <device-IP-address> 5000
```
## net.udpsocket:dns()
Provides DNS resolution for a hostname.
The syntax and functional identical to [`net.socket:dns()`](#netsocketdns).
## net.udpsocket:getaddr()
Retrieve local port and ip of socket.
The syntax and functional identical to [`net.socket:getaddr()`](#netsocketgetaddr).
## net.udpsocket:ttl()
Changes or retrieves Time-To-Live value on socket.
The syntax and functional identical to [`net.socket:ttl()`](#netsocketttl).
# net.dns Module
## net.dns.getdnsserver()
Gets the IP address of the DNS server used to resolve hostnames.
#### Syntax
`net.dns.getdnsserver(dns_index)`
#### Parameters
dns_index which DNS server to get (range 0~1)
#### Returns
IP address (string) of DNS server
#### Example
```lua
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(0)) -- 208.67.222.222
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(1)) -- nil
net.dns.setdnsserver("8.8.8.8", 0)
net.dns.setdnsserver("192.168.1.252", 1)
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(0)) -- 8.8.8.8
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(1)) -- 192.168.1.252
```
#### See also
[`net.dns:setdnsserver()`](#netdnssetdnsserver)
## net.dns.resolve()
Resolve a hostname to an IP address. Doesn't require a socket like [`net.socket.dns()`](#netsocketdns).
#### Syntax
`net.dns.resolve(host, function(sk, ip))`
#### Parameters
- `host` hostname to resolve
- `function(sk, ip)` callback called when the name was resolved. `sk` is always `nil`
#### Returns
`nil` but may raise errors for severe network stack issues (e.g., out of DNS query table slots)
#### Example
```lua
net.dns.resolve("www.google.com", function(sk, ip)
if (ip == nil) then print("DNS fail!") else print(ip) end
end)
```
#### See also
[`net.socket:dns()`](#netsocketdns)
## net.dns.setdnsserver()
Sets the IP of the DNS server used to resolve hostnames. Default: resolver1.opendns.com (208.67.222.222). You can specify up to 2 DNS servers.
#### Syntax
`net.dns.setdnsserver(dns_ip_addr, dns_index)`
#### Parameters
- `dns_ip_addr` IP address of a DNS server
- `dns_index` which DNS server to set (range 0~1). Hence, it supports max. 2 servers.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.dns:getdnsserver()`](#netdnsgetdnsserver)
### net.ping()
Pings a server. A callback function is called when response is or is not received. Summary statistics can be retrieved via the second callback.
The function can be disabled by commenting `NET_PING_ENABLE` macro in `user_config.h` when more compact build is needed.
#### Syntax
`net.ping(domain, [count], callback_received, [callback_sent])`
#### Parameters
- `domain` destination domain or IP address
- `count` number of ping packets to be sent (optional parameter, default value is 4)
- `callback_received(bytes, ipaddr, seqno, rtt)` callback function which is invoked when response is received where
- `bytes` number of bytes received from destination server (0 means no response)
- `ipaddr` destination server IP address
- `seqno` ICMP sequence number
- `rtt` round trip time in ms
If domain name cannot be resolved callback is invoked with `bytes` parameter equal to 0 (i.e. no response) and `nil` values for all other parameters.
- `callback_sent(ipaddr, total_count, timeout_count, total_bytes, total_time)` callback function which is invoked when response is received where
- `ipaddrstr` destination server IP address
- `total_count` total number of packets sent
- `timeout_count` total number of packets lost (not received)
- `total_bytes` total number of bytes received from destination server
- `total_time` total time to perform ping
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
net.ping("www.nodemcu.com", function (b, ip, sq, tm)
if ip then print(("%d bytes from %s, icmp_seq=%d time=%dms"):format(b, ip, sq, tm)) else print("Invalid IP address") end
end)
net.ping("www.nodemcu.com", 10, function (b, ip, sq, tm)
if ip then print(("%d bytes from %s, icmp_seq=%d time=%dms"):format(b, ip, sq, tm)) else print("Invalid IP address") end
end)
net.ping("www.nodemcu.com", function (b, ip, sq, tm)
if ip then print(("%d bytes from %s, icmp_seq=%d time=%dms"):format(b, ip, sq, tm)) else print("Invalid IP address") end
end,
function (ip, tc, toc, tb, tt)
print(("--- %s ping statistics ---\n%d packets transmitted, %d received, %d%% packet loss, time %dms"):format(ip, tc, tc-toc, toc/tc*100, tt))
end)
```
Multiple pings can start in short sequence thought if the new ping overlaps with the previous one the first stops receiving answers, i.e.
```lua
function ping_resp(b, ip, sq, tm)
print(string.format("%d bytes from %s, icmp_seq=%d time=%dms", b, ip, sq, tm))
end
net.ping("8.8.8.8", 4, ping_resp)
tmr.create():alarm(1000, tmr.ALARM_SINGLE, function() net.ping("8.8.4.4", 4, ping_resp) end)
```
gives
```
32 bytes from 8.8.8.8, icmp_seq=9 time=14ms
32 bytes from 8.8.8.8, icmp_seq=10 time=9ms
32 bytes from 8.8.4.4, icmp_seq=11 time=6ms
32 bytes from 8.8.4.4, icmp_seq=13 time=12ms
0 bytes from 8.8.8.8, icmp_seq=0 time=0ms -- no more answers received
32 bytes from 8.8.4.4, icmp_seq=15 time=16ms
0 bytes from 8.8.8.8, icmp_seq=0 time=0ms -- no more answers received
32 bytes from 8.8.4.4, icmp_seq=16 time=7ms
```
