Hi all, I've tried to make a script that gets a remote html page using IO::Socket. If I wanted to use (like in some example from books) GET $path HTTP/1.1, the script didn't want to work. But it works OK if I ask for HTTP/1.0.
The strange thing is that the header returned by the Apache Server running in Windows 2k says that it is HTTP/1.1, even though I've asked for HTTP/1.0. Of course, this is happening only if I rename the file as index.html. If I let it as index.shtml, it doesn't work with any method. It prints only the first 4 KB of the html file. Can you tell me why is not working if I try with HTTP/1.1, and why is not working with .shtml files? Thanks. Here is the script: #!/perl/bin/perl -w print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; use IO::Socket; my $host = "127.0.0.1"; my $path = "/test.html"; my $port = 80; my $socket = IO::Socket::INET -> new(PeerAddr => $host, PeerPort => $port, Proto => 'tcp', Type => SOCK_STREAM, Timeout => 5, ) or die "Cannot connect to the server.\n"; $socket->autoflush(1); #print $socket "GET $path HTTP/1.0\n", #"Host: $host\n\n"; print $socket "GET /index.shtml\n\n"; my $sock = <$socket>; while (<$socket>) { print; } $socket->close; Teddy's Center: http://teddy.fcc.ro/ Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
