Winsock Request

Winsock Syntax? (To Request A Website With The Winsock Control)
Ok, I don't know very much about Winsock and am just now starting to use it. I'm making an anonymity program that modifies referer and user agent data. I managed to find an example of how its done on planetsourcecode.com but there's a few things that aren't working.

Anyway, when this string is sent, it sends the headers and a request for index.html from the connected host (winsock1.connect domain.com 80).

GET index.html HTTP/1.0
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-comet, */*
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Encoding: gzip , deflate
Cache-Control: no-cache
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Whatever
Referer: www.whatever.com

But when I used the website http://ipid.shat.net/ as the domain to see if code mdified the headers or not, it directed me instead to just www.shat.net. How would a browser request information to ipid.shat.net?

Also, I noticed that by sending just that information, cookies don't work properly. What other tags do I have to add onto that for it to recieve my session information? Thanks a lot.

WinSock Request Accept
Hey,

I have been trying to get this code to work, It's most likely something stupid am doing, but i cant get my server program type thingie to accept the Request ID from the client program thingie... Here is the code to the part that it says is wrong (If you need anyother parts tell me an i'll post it)


Code:
Private Sub HostSocket_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)

'Show Request In Host Log
HMsg = "Connection request id " & requestID & " from " & HostSocket.RemoteHostIP
HostLog.AddItem (HMsg)

sRequestID = requestID
iSockets = iSockets + 1
ConNumber.Caption = iSockets
Load HostSocket(iSockets)
HostSocket.LocalPort = 1007
HostSocket.Accept requestID

End Sub
PS. I looked at an example to help me with this, so am not sure whats wrong.

Thx in advance.

Winsock Sample Request
Hi all,

I need to make a server app for my project. I have concluded that I will need to implement Winsock to do so. I have read up on all Winsock articles here (and many others elsewhere) and have downloaded and studied all the samples I could find.

However, I am unable to do what I want because:

- The tutorials say that the IP address or friendly name of the target computer MUST be specified for the Winsock control to connect on the other side. This strikes me as very backward, as I can not always know what IP addresses my customers' network stations will be running on and cannot also predict their friendly names. Does this have to be hard-coded?

- Try as I may, I cannot create a working sample of Server.Exe and Client.Exe to run on the same machine as I cannot afford the luxury of testing my code over two machines. Is there any way I can debug / test on one machine?

If any member proficient with Winsock (Laura Stephens and Jason Rogers come to mind) would like to help, I shall appreciate a small sample to get me started by solving the above two problems.

Winsock - Notification When User Accepts Request
Does anyone know of a way that an initiator of a Winsock connection can be notified when a user on the other end accepts the connection ? I'm new to Winsock, so my terminology might not be the best, but I'm trying to find out if the inititator has any way of knowing that a connection was made before any messages are exchanged?

HELP: Winsock To Send HTTP POST REQUEST To A Machine
Hello,

I would like to use visual basic to send data to a machine using an HTTP Post request, and cannot decide on the best way to do it. Can I use winsock. Please bear in mind the following.

I am sending a mult-part message (kind of like an email with attachments). It's actually a multimedia message in the MM7 format -> this is similar to email, a multipart MIME message.

I MUST post to a destination using the following format:

http://192.168.3.75:2097/mm7

I need to then send the data which I've formated according to the MM7 spec.

I need to receive responses from the receving application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Winsock Connection Prob: "Request To Connection Time Out".
Hi All,

I am developing chat application like Yahoo and MSN messenger. Also i have almost completed it. I have two applications one is server appliation which will be run on chat server machine. the other is client appliation which will be used at any corner of the world.

Its working fine on my network. Ya, it is also working fine over network but with some misbehaviour. Sometimesm, it allow someone to login and sometimes it doesn't and gives "Request to connection time out" error.. I can't find the reason y it is happening.

I have developed this in visual basic and used winsock control.

Get Request
Hi,

I have been reading this forum almost daily for months now and until now I have been able to find all of my answers through searches but today seems to be the exception - and maybe that is just because I am dense.

Anyway, I am trying to talk to a SitePlayer device via the internet. Right now my device is set up on a local network so its local IP is 10.0.0.12

Now the html command for what I want to do, if I were to do it from a web page is:

<form method="get" action="task02.spi?baud=65406">
<input type="text" name="com" MAXLENGTH="80" SIZE="80"></input>

This creates a text box and when the page is reloaded, whatever has been typed into the text box is sent out the serial port of the Siteplayer.

Ok, so far so good.

Question #1: How do I send that EXACT same command, text box and all, from visual basic (preferably using inet)?

Question #2: How do I send the "Get command" along with the string from the text box without referencing the text box in any way...so if I have a string strdata and I want to send that to the Siteplayer via the Get command, what is the VB equivalent of the above HTML?

I know the answer is simple but for some reason the get command is evading my understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alisha

Please, Second Request Of HELP
I just need someone to help to start

I have to create a form with 3 options buttons.
Brand A
Brand B
Brand C
I have to use a 2 dimensional table to be able to choose any of the above brands (A,B,C)and give me 7 different part numbers of each brand [(A,B,C)to change to [(partA,partB,partC,partD,partE,partF,partG)in Brand A]
[ H,I J,K,L,M,N)in brand B]
[O,P,Q,R,S,T,U] in brand C]
The information chosen wil appear inside a combo box.

Then, after the information is inside the combo box if you click any of the 7 different part shown in the combobox, will show always part1,part2,part3,part4,part5 inside another list box..

part A, H and O is the same part # 1 for the three of them
" B,I,P is the same part # 2 for the three of them
C,J,Q is the same part# 3 for the three of them
D,K,R is the same part# 4 for the three of them
E,L,S is the same part# 5 for the three of them
F,M,T is the same part# 6 for the three of them
G,N,U is the same part# 7 for the three of them


I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO choose from two approaches for the lookup table. Either store the part numbers on a two dimensional table or in an array of user-defined types.. In either case, I have to use the part number and brand entered by the user give to you, we have to end the project displaying part 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, or5, or6, or 7.


Any help will be appreciate.
I don't ask you to do the project, but if you want to finished I'll appreciate very much.

Request For Help With SQL
I'm trying to write SQL that checks a list of values (entered at runtime - it's just an ad-hoc query) and sees if they're NOT in a table. I tried this:

SELECT * FROM ('AAAA','BBBB') AS TEMP.ID
WHERE TEMP.ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM TABLE);

But, predictably, it said that AAAA is not recognized. This would be easy if there were two tables, but I just have the one table and the list. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you,

How To Do This Web Request?
Hi,

I'm having another issue. I am trying to make an ad blocker in VB6, I know what I am going to do etc... In my hosts file i've placed it to redirect all ad sites to 127.0.0.1/localhost

Im trying to run a webserver (make it in a seperate component or exe file) and get it to return c:AdBlocklock.htm which will say a few words like ' an advert was blocked here'.

I've tried vb webserver examples but my problem is that they are
a) designed for multi files, i just want this app to return a single page not handle get requests etc...
b)they don't let me do this because they don't support INDEX.HTM/index.html so I can't just set it to run off a certain directory.

I am unsure because I know winsock but the example webservers don't have default starting urls:

In conclusion:

i want to make an ad blocker - can manage that.
in my hosts file i have specified requests to transfer to self
I want to run a VB6 app (i can shell it thru my ad blocker) which listens on port 80 for requests and when recieves a get request returns the page C:ADBLOCKlock.htm

I don't want it to equiv refresh or window.navigate because if I move the page to a 'Ad blocked' page, the user will lose their current browsing session. I want it returned straight throuh.

Thank you and I hope you can see what I am trying to achieve, I will appreciate any help on how I can do this.

Request
this is going to be an odd request, but I'm looking for a section of code.

Doesn't matter what its from, doesn't matter what it does, the more complicated the programming, and different characters/math it has in it, the better.

I need it for an art thing i'm working on.

the length of each line and the number of lines doesn't matter too much, as long as there aren't any big gaps. Probably between 60-100 lines.

if you can just post the section to here, it'd be appreciated.

Thanx

Request For Bid
I'm pricing out an alternative strategy to an overall solution that has been proposed by a potential partner, so please understand that this will not constitute a firm offer but merely an invitation to bargain.

I'm interested in bids for software that will do the following:

(1) Monitor incoming e-mails stored on a server for retrieval by server users to determine whether each e-mail has been opened by the recipient;

(2) Where the software detects that the e-mail has not been opened/retreived by the recipient within a specified time (e.g., 3 days, 5 days, this should be a flexible setting), the software retrieves the message and

(a) Opens it;
(b) Reads it;
(c) Generates an audio file comprised of a synthetic voice reading of the text (it would be adventageous if their was a high degree of flexibility for the users to control preferences with respect to the nature of the synthetic voice settings used to generate the audio file);
(d) Which it then uses to either (a) insert a voice-mail message of the reading of such text into a linked voice mail server or (b) plays in a call into a remote voice mail server.

The bid should (a) include any licensing fees payable to third parties for usage of software elements proprietary to such parties and (b) assume that the software shall be solely proprietary to the client and created as a work made for hire.

Thanks for your attention I appreicate your bids.

*Help Request*
Hello, I've been tinkering with VC++6.0, and VB 6.0 on and off for a few years.
Now I'm trying to develop a program that should be fairly simple, and am searching the net to find any information I can.

What I would like is any one who has good VB or VC++ Experience to aid me 1 on 1 designing this program and I may be able to pay a bit here and there.
My Email is duston@webifyit.com, and I live in Phoenix Arizona. (Net only help is fine, but if you live around me that would be even better)

Now What I'm trying to do is simple. I want to load a file, or create a file (text, but not a *.txt file) change and add information, and re-save.
It is for makeing areas for a MUD. IT's a simple text file I'm trying to make with the following parameters in the file 1) %zone - Defines zone name and other zone-specific information.
2) %dil - Any special dil routines which you want to create for the
entire zone go here. Please note the this section is NOT
discussed in this tutorial -- please refer to the dil3.doc
and Icculus' dil tutorial for more dil information.
3) %rooms - The room definitions are here.
4) %mobiles - The mobile (monster) definitions are here.
5) %objects - Objects are defined here.
6) %reset - (**Important**) Defines the way in which everything in
the zone resets and how (mobiles&objects) get loaded into
their assigned rooms.
I will send you all the various information of what I'm trying to accomplish if your interested. An example would be like

#include &lt;composed.h&gt;

%zone wiz

notes
"No doors from any room outside of this zone should point to this
zone. Interconnecting rooms within the zone has been implemented
to make the reading of the wizboards easier."

IE. the %rooms will load each section of it into seperate textboxes. IE descritpion name title exits etc.... And have a tab/scroll feature to automaticaly tab/scroll to the next "room" for editiong.

A Rant And A Request
Ok, first the rant:

I'm really bummed out that the browser object that comes with VB6 doesn't have an appearance property that allows you to set it flat instead of 3D. It always has that 3d border around it. Something else that extremly annoying is that it always displays the vertical scroll bar even when the HTLM page being viewed doesn't span beyond the top and bottom of the browser object.

Now the request:

Does anybody know of an alternative browser object that lets you display as flat instead of 3D and doesn't show the scroll bars unless the HTML page being viewed is larger than the browser object?

Tutorial Request && Some Help
Ok I read the "READ THIS FIRST" post but winsockVB has closed down so I just thaught id ask here for some help.

Well I have this game I have created and I fancy getting it to work online so me and my college friends can waste time playing each other rather than actually doing work haha.

Its a card game where the player dukes it out with his/her intelligence and skill to conquer the opponents card if I get it to work online ill be sure to not only give a mention to whoever is nice enough to help me ill post it so you guys and gals can waste your time on it too, rather than doing something constructive


I have no prior experience with winsock at all, just was reccomended by somebody I know to use to get the online functionality.

Thus I need a good tutorial on how to set up a client/Server structure with winsock and how to get it sending and recieving data to and from a database (if that is possible).

So people get the idea of what im attempting to do ill explain. I want it so the player can sign up on a website this creates the account in a database. (I have php and SQL experience and I have experience with Access too)
Once account created the player can log into the game, this takes them to a "lobby" where they can chat and create or enter a game with another player. Once in the game they can choose out of their deck 5 cards to play with (their deck is saved on the database) they play the game and the winner takes one of the losers cards to be added to the winners deck.(this again needs to send data to the database) They gain X amount of points for the win depending on the time it took and the amount of cards they won by. (this again is saved on the database) they go back to the "lobby" and the fun starts again.


This game was origionally created for a project in college, but my college friends and tutors all said it was an exceptional game and seem to spend too much time playing each other. So me being me and liking the near impossible challenge decided id try and make it online.

Any tutorial and help would be great thanks ZAFF.

I am working with a client and a server. There is no problem when i connect to the client , but when i close the server, and try to run it again ( button: connect) i get the error , the connection is forcefully rejected.

on the client side i have:

[vbcode]
Private Sub Winsock_ConnectionRequest(ByVal RequestID As Long)

Winsock.Close

[/vbcode]

on the server side:

Problem With Request
I am currently working on a small project for a small community college and I was asked to provide a way for when an administrator logs into the program send a message through the network to other computers telling them that a change might occur and that the data they are viewing at the moment might not be updated, "Something like that the exact message is not final yet?" But basically to let another user know that the admin will be making updates to the database. Now I have played with NetSend and I did get it working somewhat.

My only problem is that some of the computers in the network have disabled the use of network messages be sent or being displayed. So I just wanted to know if anyone has ever been asked for something like this before, and if you have what did you end of doing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

--by the way just incase you need to know I am using Access as my database.

How do I get that **** window activated?
