Description

int hw_connect ( string host, int port [, string username, string password] )

Opens a connection to a Hyperwave server and returns a connection index on success, or FALSE if the connection could not be made. Each of the arguments should be a quoted string, except for the port number. The username and password arguments are optional and can be left out. In such a case no identification with the server will be done. It is similar to identify as user anonymous. This function returns a connection index that is needed by other Hyperwave functions. You can have multiple connections open at once. Keep in mind, that the password is not encrypted.
