sb

[in] ServerBrowser object intialized with ServerBrowserNew.

[in] The query port of the server to send the message to, in network byte order.

data

len

Remarks

The ServerBrowserSendMessageToServer function can be used to relay a raw data buffer to a server behind a firewall. The raw buffer is sent through the backend since direct communication with the server is not always possible. The buffer is sent in raw form to the server’s query port and does not contain any header information. This message is most usefull in a shared socket QR2 implementation.
