Hello,

I'm trying to read the content from this page without any success

http://www.oref.org.il/WarningMessages/alerts.json

this is the script: http://script.quakenet.org/paste/584766

I'm getting the headers but not the content of the page.

Thanks.

It's because of the text encoding (UTF-16 Little Endian); I don't know if there's a way to work around this other than sockreading to a binvar.

The problem is before the encoding itself i cant read the content that comes after the bracket '{', it seems that there is a char or more that prevents from the socket to read the content...

BTW, i tried with binvar and got the same result...

Binary variables will always work, you can't even say you didn't get it to work, or that's because you missed the point of using them.
You should not use $bvar().text to get the text, you can only display $bvar() which will display the ascii value of each byte.

Code:
on *:sockread:oref:{
  if ($sockerr) { return }
  sockread -nf &a
  while ($sockbr) {
    echo -a > $bvar(&a,1-).text :: $bvar(&a,1-)
    sockread -nf &a
  }
}
Using a /while is better than using /goto.
mIRC read the data fine, even if you use a simple %variable, it's just that it can't translate it to produce text, just like with $bvar().text, it just gives $null

If you write/read the binvar to file you can display the content correctly.

Yeah, but utf16 isn't really supported inside mIRC, probably just the file handling routines handle it.
Maybe a new switch could be added to /sockread when reading into a %variable to handle utf16 correctly.

Code:
on *:sockread:oref:{
  if ($sockerr) { return }
  if !$sock($sockname).mark {
    var %a | sockread %a 
    if %a == $null { sockmark $sockname 1 }
  }  
  elseif $sock($sockname).mark == 1 {
    sockread &a 
    var %i 1 | while $bvar(&a,%i) != $null {
      var %h %h $base($bvar(&a,$calc(%i + 1)),10,16,2) $+ $base($v1,10,16,2) 
      inc %i 2
    }  
    var %i 1 | while $gettok(%h,%i,32) {
      var %t %t $+ $replace($chr($base($v1,16,10)),$chr(32),space)
      inc %i
    }
    echo -ag $replace(%t,space,$chr(32))
  }
}
