Add better support for Tcp socket options

Status: New

Currently the only way to set/modify Tcp socket options is by directly calling some system library, as done for example in this post.

 

This not only causes code difficult to understand ("what does that library call do again?") but also poses problems when you want to use your code on different operating systems: Currently the only way to do this is using "conditional disable structures", and then Labview still tries to load the code used for a different operating system...

 

Labview should have a standard way to set socket options within Labview code, at least for the most important options (Nagle algorithm leaps to mind...). This could either be done as additional inputs to the "Tcp open connection"-VI, or (much better) using property nodes for Tcp connections.
