Socket GET

[thetree]

Hey,

I'm trying to return a websites (google) html.

I've taken a few hints from the Microsoft winsock examples and come up with this:

redacted

It works fine with my HTTP server I also made with Winsock but times out with any real websites.
I think its either the headers, or I'm not sending something correctly that it needs. Though I'm not certain.

Help?

Thanks

Bump with new info.

Ok, turns out I needed:

htmlSend += "\r\n";

on the end, so the headers were wrong. Added it and it worked.

Though I now have a new problem. I'm only receiving a maximum 1460 bytes of data from the server. This happens for all servers I try and connect to.

I've upped the buffer length to 50000 and still no dice. I'm stumped as to what the problem is :/

EDIT: I've just discovered there is a 1460 byte limit for TCP connections. Question is, how do I overcome this?

EDIT2: Can I loop the recv function until the total received bytes = the content-length header?
If so, how can I get the value of it without exploding by "\r\n" and ripping the headers apart with string functions?
