what do you mean you don't get a response?

i tried
Code:
on *:text:!followers:#:{
  test
}


alias test {
  sockopen test nightdev.com 80
}

on *:sockopen:test: {
  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /hosted/followers.php?channel=aler360&limit=5 HTTP/1.0
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: nightdev.com $crlf $+ $crlf
}

on *:sockread:test: {
  if ($sockerr) { return }
  var %read | sockread -f %read
  while ($sockbr) {
    if (%read != $null) echo -ag %read
    sockread -f %read
}



And it echo the entire page back. It's the same code you are using, with my updated sockopen code block that I posted earlier. All the read part is doing is echo anything that is read from the server. This means that you should be getting a response. Your if statements probably aren't checking correctly
