Socket Help

Driving myself crazy with this one, i believe i understand how sockets work, albeit a very basic level.

I'm trying to read data from a site: http://apis.rtainc.co/twitchbot/following.php?channel=randomchannel&user=randomuser

I have the following code

Code:
alias followed {
  sockclose followed
  sockopen followed apis.rtainc.co 80
}

on *:SOCKOPEN:followed:{
  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname | halt }
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET /twitchbot/following.php?channel=randomviewer&user=randomuser HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: apis.rtainc.co
  sockwrite $sockname $crlf
}

on *:SOCKREAD:followed:{
  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname }
  var %data
  sockread %data
  echo %data
}


I should be echoing: randomuser is not following but i am only echoing raw headers.

Any thoughts? I'm using similar socket scripts already and can read data from a website just fine.

Thanks!

Try adding this after the sockread %data
Code:
    
while ($sockbr) {
      sockread %data
    }

and this event
Code:
on *:sockclose:followed: {
    var %data
    sockread -f %data
echo -a %data
}

And check if it echoes the line you want smile

So that seemed to work, however it echo's only when the socket closes. The question is, can i move it to the sockread or force the socket to close faster?

You helped me get to what i wanted. The socket close wasn't functioning exactly as i wanted it to.

I had to write some additional code to get it working but you helped me go in the right direction!
