I tried that and got this
Quote:
HTTP/0.9 400 Bad Request
* /echo: insufficient parameters (line 18, sockettest.mrc)

I also tried it on yahoo sports with no such luck. I think i am using the wrong post/get method this is what i have for yahoo
Code:
alias sockettest {
  sockopen toplist www.yahoo.com 80
}
on *:SOCKOPEN:toplist: {
  sockwrite -nt $sockname GET sports.yahoo.com/mlb/scoreboard
  sockwrite -nt $sockname HOST: yahoo.com 
  sockwrite -nt $sockname Accept-Language: en-us
  sockwrite -nt $sockname User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)
}
on *:SOCKREAD:toplist: {
  if ($sockerr) {
    echo -s SockError $sockname $sockerr
    return
  }
  else {
    var %temptext
    sockread %temptext
    echo -a %temptext
  }
}
