Thats the older method using the tcl socket code to retrieve webpages manually. Obviously the person who wrote the original script knew exactly what they needed to access a particular webpage in this way..Most(?) of us nowdays use the tcl http package, because it simplifies things a bit especially with more complicated web pages requiring queries and such.

The Accept- lines are http header directives. Refer to the relevant htt-protocol specs, eg:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

I have a line of code that I borrowed from another script to read the 7.html page from shoutcast.

Code:

 puts -nonewline $lcl_StreamWebPageScoket "GET /7.html HTTP/1.1\nAccept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*\nAccept-Language: en-us\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461; (R1 1.3); .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)\nHost: www.awesomechat.net\nConnection: Keep-Alive\n\n"

But I have no idea what it means other then it puts a line as if it was a browser???? But, the rest of that stuff???? I have no idea.

Can anyone explain to me why this would be done like this?

Dan
