Thanks Andu...here is the 'analyzed' packet from the device to the server (I used CommView...minus the hex info):
GET /cgi/input.cgi?INPUT=RGB1&lang=e&x=39&y=11 HTTP/1.0..Accept: image/gif , image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/msword, */*..Referer: http://192.168.4.9/base_e.htm..Accept-Language: en-us..User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)..Host: 192.168.4.9..Connection: Keep-Alive.... ('INPUT=RGB1' is the actual 'command' or syntax) The server responds with : HTTP/1.0 2 OK..Server: Dahlia/1.0.9a..Connection: Keep-Alive.. And the very next packet is: Content-Type: text/html....<html><BODY onLoad="setTimeout('history.go(-1)',1)"></BODY></html> When I try to send this information, the server responds, but instead of 'OK', there is an 'ERROR 400' or something...and obviously it does not do anything to the device. I hope this makes sense... (This is a web browser based interface to get the status of a device on the network...from IE or Netscape, etc.).
