Subdomains and sockets. #83325 17/05/04 07:38 PM

I want to connect to a site that is a subdomain of another domain. for example site1.domain1.com However everytime I open a socket to that domain alias, or subdomain it brings me back to the main domain site (ie domain1.com) I assume it's trying to dns the site1.domain1.com and finds it to be the same address as domain1.com, and proceeds from there. Is there anyway around this, or how do I connect to a subdomain? Thanks in advanced.

Again I assume it's because it's trying to look it up via dns, and gets the same ip for both.

I'm rather new at this so bare with me a little longer The code above brought me to his page successfully (I wasn't using the http/1.* headers. How would I then navigate to a page on his site in a subdirectory. Normally I would do something like the following Code: sockwrite -n echo2 GET /g7/idlerpg/players.php How would you do this with the HTTP headers? I've read the article and was under the impression it was as follows: Code: GET /path/to/file/index.html HTTP/1.0 Which in my case would be Code: sockwrite -n echo2 GET /g7/idlerpg/players.php HTTP/1.0 which brings up a 404. http://jotun.ultrazone.org/g7/players.php Thanks for your continued assistance.
