I'm not good with sockets or anything but it might be good if you provide some people with more info. The site, the line, etc. Maybe it's not needed, I'm not sure.
Another, slightly more advanced socket script I wrote a while ago is a tool you can use to practice your HTTP in a window until you get the hang of it.
Once you're familiar with how it all works, you'll probably want to do a little formatting of the lines that you retreive as you retrieve them. This next piece of code is an example.
A bit more complex example is one I wrote for someone who was interested in checking to see if a file he wanted to GET was actually present on the server or not, and downloading a file (mIRC603.exe) through HTTP like a browser would (without the error checking and dialogs that pop up -- gotta leave something for the other guy to do )
Or you can do your own search using the forum's Search feature.
