Getting a document via HTTP

A good idea would be to goto the page you want the source for.

Goto the View menu on IE, and select Source.

Any help?

Also, if the page uses frames, click right mouse button on thr page and select View Source

I could do that, but I want to automate it. I''m writing a program that grabs a news page and transfers it to my graphing calculator so I can read it. I''m going to strip the HTML away in C++ and then convert the file to a special format, then send it to my calc. But I need to know how to get a file from a HTTP server.

There is a tutorial about sockets here on gamedev that I found while looking into neural networks... I think if you do a search for "neural net" it will come up close to the bottom. I think it is called something like "building your own internet" (maybe not). One of the example programs grabs an HTML file from some website (microsoft.com?).

What kind of calculator are you going to do this with? If you aren''t using TI products... you should be My personal favorite is the TI-89.

PS - how is extreme tic-tac-toe coming along? Did you rewrite the particle system to use a linked list?

1. Get the IP of www.somewhere.com
2. Make a TCP connection to it on port 80
3. Send a message looking like this:
"GET /readme.txt HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"

4. Hope the server returns your document
