Using ? in HTTP grab sockets

2007-04-08T18:27:50-04:00

The http package is part of the newer versions of tcl, so you should already have it, and its manpage http.html. There's tons of example scripts in the archives and in the forums about how to use the http package, I've written a lot of scripts using it so look around.

Using ? in HTTP grab sockets

I honestly have no knowledge of how the http package works or where to obtain it, hence my use of sockets.

Using ? in HTTP grab sockets

I use ? in the weather script and it works.. Maybe the site you're trying to access is using POST method, not GET?

Here's an example of using POST from one of mc8's scripts (mcbanchan)

puts $sid "POST /report_bug.tcl HTTP/1.0\
\nHost: mc.purehype.net:80\
\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\
\nContent-Length: [expr [string length $query] +2]"
puts $sid \n$query

Here's an example from the weather script (using GET):

set webpage "/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=$location"
puts $wzsock "GET $webpage"

Why use the socket code anyway, when the http package gives you much more facility?

Alright, I'm trying to access a server using this code:

Code:

proc battle:flistenersdata { } {global shoutcast shoutport shoutpass url_ xml_ fd_ state_set url_ "/radiosite/modules.php?name=Nuke-Cast"set xml_ ""# Setting up timeout lengthafter 3000 set state_ timeoutset fd_ [socket -async CENSORED CENSORED]fconfigure $fd_ -buffering line -buffersize 1024fileevent $fd_ writable {puts $fd_ "GET $url_ HTTP/1.0\nUser-Agent: CENSORED (Mozilla Compatible)\n"while { ![eof $fd_] } {gets $fd_ lineappend xml_ $line}set state_ connected}vwait state_close $fd_after cancel set state_ timeoutreturn $xml_}

However, I can only access this: /radiosite/modules.php. The ? in the url breaks the http grab. Do you have any ideas on fixing this? I have already tried a \.
