http: HyperText Transfer Protocol, http is a protocol, not a "thing". I
assume you mean a web server? (http is not just used for web sites)

To get a page from a web server, you have to connect to it (look into
sockets programming for info on that) and then send it a request. The
request is just a bunch of data telling the server what page you want.
It will then send the response back as plain text.

Hope that pointed you in the right direction...

Hello- I am trying to write a snippet which will open a text file with an integer on each line. I would like to read the last integer in the file. I am currently using: file = fopen("f.txt", "r+"); fseek(file, -2, SEEK_END); fscanf(file, "%d", &c); this works fine if the integer is only a single character. When I get into larger numbers though (e.g. 502) it only reads in the 2. Is there

Hi there, I want to timeout Read method of System.Stream class after 30 secs. of no activity given a certain opened connection. That is, because some incoming connections to my application just don't give any signal and my Read method keeps waiting from the socket for some data to be read eternally. I have seen that in framework 2.0 System.Stream.Read has a new property that will probably match with what I need called 'ReadTimeout'....

Hi, I want to read a string a chars from a stream, and put it into a string. At the moment, I'm creating a buffer of a fixed size, and reading the stream of text into it. It works, but I have to create a buffer of a pre-defined length: (ConstBufferByteSize=10000000). How can I read a stream into a buffer or string without knowing the number of chars the stream will contain?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
