I''m new to web programming. I want to post a set of text much like this <form method=post> <input type="hidden" name="login" value="Login"> <input type="text" name="username" value="contenttest"> <input typex="password" name="password" value="pass"> to a url. I can connect to the server on port 80 (HTTP port?). I know HTTP is text based how do i get that infromation above into the server correctly using HTTP? Also how do i get to correct URL directory of the webserver. ie. www.gamedev.net/community/forums/post.asp And how do i get the response from the web server? Thanks! -ddn
