Oops!! sorry I gave you the return code '0' which means success. yes, there is a return confirmation which I am getting. But I am not selecting the entire return confirmation, just taking in first 40 bytes. Thanks, John

Hi Dominik and Jh, Just out of curiosity, can we do something like concatenating 2 strings? Something like this in sendto()? ======================== e = sendto(sd,"string1"+"string2",lenght(),0,(struct sockaddr *)&saServer,sizeof(saServer)); ======================== Many Thanks, John

Thanks Joaquin!! It gave me a bright Idea!!! Best Regards, John.:-D

Yes, download the Platform SDK[^]. Or buy VC7. She's so dirty, she threw a boomerang and it wouldn't even come back.

In addition, your encode routine is completely wrong. Spaces should be replaced with +, while non alphabetical characters should be replaced with their hex ascii representation prefixed with a %. That's not exactly what you are doing. It's also questionable because whether you are using javascript (escapeurl), ASP (urlencode), C++ (InternetCanonicalizeUrl, UrlEscape), .NET (HttpUtility.UrlEncode), you've many SAFE ways to do it already. Why reinvent that fucking squared wheel ?:wtf: She's so dirty, she threw a boomerang and it wouldn't even come back.

Hi, I've written a code which replaces characters in a string with their respective URLEncode (i.e a " " will be replaced by "+" etc..). However the code crashes at execution. Please help!! Here's the code extract; Code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ for(j=0;j

In that case, the strcpy would fail too, surely? Steve S [This signature space available for rent]

Use the InternetCanonicalizeUrl() function ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

doing a substr() in C++; You use CString.Mid() (this requires MFC), or you use std::string.substr() (this is standardized and portable), or us use strstr(), the plain old C-Library function. Its up to you.

MSDN: Return Values If no error occurs, recv returns the number of bytes received. If the connection has been gracefully closed, the return value is zero. Otherwise, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError. Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

try this: memset((char *) &saServer, 0, sizeof(saServer)); saServer.sin_family=AF_INET; saServer.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.0.4"); saServer.sin_port=htons(80); :rose:
