You should have a flush after the puts. Also, you're not sending a valid http request... there should be headers and a blank line after the headers. At the minimum you need another \n. And a flush.

I already suggested not making it nonblocking... get rid of the -blocking 0 arg. I'm not sure it will work but at least try it and see what happens.

Also add some debugging statements so you can see what's happening.

Another thing -- you set the socket to be nonblocking, but then you try to read it in a while loop. Either don't make it nonblocking, or use fileevent to read from it.

your string match should probably be "sock*", not "sock??" as the socket descriptor can start at a single digit number and even go past two digits..

You should have been seeing your problem on stderr (or $errorInfo)...

There is no "rfile" defined... Don't think you even want that line in there at all...

hey i am trying to understand how to write from a socket to a file i know i am doing something wrong but could someone point me out what it is

yes i know there is a http lib

Code:

#!/usr/bin/tclshproc wget {url} {  set host [lindex [split [string trimleft $url "http://"] \x2F] 0]  if {[string match -nocase *:* $host]} {    set port [lindex [split $host \x3A] 1]  } else {    set port 80  }  set path [string trimleft $url "http://$host"]  catch {socket $host $port} sock  if {[string match -nocase sock?? $sock]} {    fconfigure $sock -blocking 0 -buffering line    puts $sock "GET $path HTTP/1.1"    fconfigure $rfile -translation binary    set wfile [open [file tail $url] w]    fconfigure $wfile -translation binary    while {![eof $sock]} {      gets $sock x      if {[string match -nocase {} $x]} {        continue      }      puts $wfile "$x"    }    close $wfile  }  close $sock}wget $argv
