It means changing the logic on the client code a little. For starters, being able to get things by hostname instead of IP is nice:
After that I can already get limited output from web pages:
Notice the newline at the end of 'GET /', that is necessary.
Then you modify the receiving loop to receive as much data as it can until the loop breaks.
Note that there are a lot of HTTP standards that this does not comply to. for one thing, it doesn't tell the server it which website it wants to connect to, so it could easily be given the wrong page, and for another thing, it won't correctly parse multi-part web pages. Unless you really, absolutely need to make a new tool for this, the wget commandline tool is a full-featured standards-compliant way to automatically retrieve pages from the web.
The example you gave me get the data alright......but how could I modify it further
so that I could put in a request on the client side on certain port
There's plenty of examples of printf and argument handling in the code. What precisely is the sticking point?
Right! Well main thing I want is to GET the 'index.html' of a website at PORT 80 and then have a message up on the server.c saying "handling request"...etc
Yes, I understand that's what you want to do, I'm wondering what's the sticking point in doing so. Are you having trouble figuring out where in the program logic these things need to be put? Are you trying to figure out how to accept a parameter on the command line? Are the finer points of printf a problem? Or am I off the mark and you need some other information? As is you're asking me to do everything and the idea is to teach...
