Remote Log Server README

Use your Visual Studio Code editor as a log destination. Creates no files on disk and works for remote logging too.

Usage

Press <CTRL+F12> to start a server, and connect to the server via telnet or socket programms sending text.

Example python code:

import socket
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect(('localhost', 8888))
    s.send('Hello World\n'.encode())

You can also use telnet localhost 8888 from bash. Please note that the server does not run in line buffering mode so you can send partial lines.

Features

1. [CTRL+F12] to start the server
2. [SHIFT+F12] to stop the server
3. [F12] to toggle the server (pause/resume)
