Currently.i need to fetch some data from a web page but i cant get anything from it. Reading through internet all samples provide something like this:

- connect socket to server with port 80

- write http request

- read back data

And they all say it works, but well not for me..

Heres a sample code i use - i use a class from my networking engine so it should work.

int main()
{
	TCPWindowLayerClient * c = new TCPWindowLayerClient();
	c->ConnectTo("http://www.google.com", 80);
	SendStrToFd( "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: http://www.google.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n", c->sockfd);
	int * ppos = new int;
	bool breakme = false;
	while ( !breakme )
	{
		int nbytes;
		 (*ppos) = 0;
	AnsiString r =	read_from_fd2(c->sockfd, c->pdata, ppos, max_tcp_buff_size, nbytes);
breakme = (nbytes <= 0);
		cout << r.c_str();
	}
	
	cout << "end.";
	return 0;
}

Only end. Is displayed and errno is 107 which means connection is closed.

Some suggestions:

(1) Don't use 'Connection:close" in the header (shouldn't hurt, but why complicate things when troubleshooting?)

(2) You're using some kind of mysterious third-party library. Start by consulting the documentation on the library.  Since the problem appears to be either your use of the library or the library itself, and you have posted nothing about the library including its name and where someone else can find information on it, it's not possible to offer any kind of help about your problem here.

sendstrtofd is just a write function, (        int wb = write(sockfd, &pdata[ count ], size_t( len_to_write ));)

readfromfd2 is just a read function. 

(  nbytes = read (sockfd, buffer, TCP_PROTOCOL_MAX_PACKET_LEN);)

Nothing more.

Connection is done like this:

	    int ConnectTo(AnsiString serv, int port)
	    {

Clear();

	    	 portno = port;
	    	    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

	    	    if (sockfd < 0) return -1;

	    	    server = gethostbyname(serv.c_str());

	    	    if (server == NULL) {
	    	    	LOG("serve null no host");
	    	       return -1;
	    	    }

	    	    bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));
	    	    serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;

	    	    serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	    	    bcopy((char *)server->h_addr,
	    	         (char *)&serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr,
	    	         server->h_length);
	    	    serv_addr.sin_port = htons((uint16_t)portno);

	    	    if (connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0)
	    	         	{
	    	         		LAST_EVENT = TCP_ERROR;
	    	    	
	    	    	return -1;
	    	         	}
	    	         	Clear();
	    	         	timer.startTimer();
	    	         
return 1;
	    }

Also about this header connection:close it was just a sample i downloaded from internet, with or without it the result is the same (no data and this errno 107)

If you're on linux, use Wireshark to watch what is going over the wire.  If the response is coming in to your machine, but you're not receiving it, the problem is when you read the socket.  If you're not getting a response back at all, the problem is elsewhere.

Use telnet to connect to the remote and and emulate what you think your program is doing, while watching the Wireshark output.  See if they're different.

Unfortunatetly theres error on connection (cant even connect) now im not quite aware if i should set ip address or can i use www.google.com, maybe theres additional option for the socket that i do not set?

Gethostbyname returns null

in my eample gethostbyname was returning NULL (just to clarify)

in your first example i get error converting address

and in second one i cant compile this line 

struct in_addr **r = s->h_addr_list;

however i see that you use ip address instead of url

Additionally if i try to resolve www.google.com to ip address errno claims that HOST IS NOT FOUND....
