Sockets and links with many dots in them #206868 27/11/08 01:29 PM

Def1ant D	Hi, So basicly I'm trying to get a file from my website with mirc by using sockets (sock open, read & write etcetc). While this does work for 'normal' websites (read: google.com etc), this doesn't for my own. I'm guessing this is because i used cheap hosting, which is shared. Due to this, the real domain is just fake, and points towards a directory on a shared domain. Asking a file on my domain won't work, i need to use the indirect path i guess.. however, here are too many dots in the link which caused mirc to get confused :p In short: I want to read the file: www.takkra.nl/cb/test.txt This only goes via http://takkra.nl.server2.starthosting.nl/cb/test.txt But as you can see there's too many dots in this link. Is there anyone that knows a workaround for this? Below I've added a simple script to try n get it to work.. Code: Alias Update { if ($sock(update)) { sockclose update } sockopen update takkra.nl.server2.starthosting.nl 80 :end } on :sockopen:update:{ sockwrite -n update GET /cb/test.txt HTTP/1.0 sockwrite -n update Host: takkra.nl.server2.starthosting.nl 80 sockwrite -n update $crlf } on :sockread:update:{ sockread %update if %update { echo -a %update } } Last edited by Def1ant; 27/11/08 01:42 PM.

_Memo

cleaned up your code and malformed syntaxes in the HTTP requests, it works now.

Code:

Alias Update {
  if ($sock(update)) sockclose update
  sockopen update www.takkra.nl 80
}

on *:sockopen:update:{
  sockwrite -n update GET /cb/test.txt HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n update Host: www.takkra.nl
  sockwrite -n update $crlf
}

on *:sockread:update:{
  var %r
  while (reading) {
    sockread -f %r
    if ($sockerr) {
      echo -a Socket error $sockerr
      break
    }
    echo -a Data: %r
    if (!$sockbr) break 
  }
}

Def1ant D	Aha, thanks for the help. Was affraid the many dots were the issue, instead it was bad coding. Thank you
