Confused (Sock Problem) - mIRC Discussion Forums

Ok this is what I have.

Code:

alias hread {
  sockopen hread www.maxoctane.net 80
}

on *:sockopen:hread:{
  sockwrite -nt hread GET /humveeupdate.txt
  sockwrite -t hread $crlf
}

on *:sockread:hread:{
  if ($sockerr) return
  sockread 942 &temp
  echo -s -------------------------------------------------------
  echo -s Getting Update Information, Please Wait.
  echo -s -------------------------------------------------------
  echo -s  Update Information:
  echo -s $bvar(&temp,1-).text
}

And when triggered I get

-------------------------------------------------------
Getting Update Information, Please Wait.
-------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /humveeupdate.txt was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora) Server at default Port 80</address>
</body></html>

However the file.
www.maxoctane.net/humveeupdate.txt does exist and i can go to it w/ my browser.

am I doing something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The server you're connecting to uses name based hosting. Use HTTP/1.1 and specify the host name in your request headers.

Code:

alias hread {
  sockopen hread www.maxoctane.net 80
}

on *:sockopen:hread:{
  sockwrite -n hread GET /humveeupdate.txt HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n hread Host: www.maxoctane.net
  sockwrite -n hread User-Agent: mIRC $version
  sockwrite -n hread
}

on *:sockread:hread:{
  if ($sockerr) return
  sockread 942 &temp
  echo -s -------------------------------------------------------
  echo -s Getting Update Information, Please Wait.
  echo -s -------------------------------------------------------
  echo -s  Update Information:
  echo -s $bvar(&temp,1-).text
}

Now i get this as a reply

The first empty line indicates the end of the http header. Discard everything up to the first empty line and then display anything that follows.

Now Im really Lost.. What am I discarding?

You don't want to display the http header returned by the server. So discard it and only display the data you're looking for.

The header and the data are seperated by an empty line.

1. HTTP headers
2. Empty line
3. Data
