Use Symbian's HTTP framework instead of re-inventing the wheel. RHttpSession, RHttpTransaction are the most important keywords for you.

Then you must create socket. Connect to port 80. Send Get or Post request to server. And receive data (if get). You must read standart for HTTP protocol.

Re: how can i implement Socket connection as Http ?
Search the web for the HTTP RFC.  It will give you all the information about the protocol.  The socket part is easy.  I've done this for ftp in the past as well as for simple http transfers.

The box said 'Windows 98 or better'. Why is it not working on Linux?

Hi  cfm,

I just read the post that you had implemented simple HTTP transfers using Sockets. I'm trying to implement a simple HTTP GET using the sockets could you please guide me as to how to achieve this.

Try to use sniffer to see format of http packet. For example try connect to www.newlc.com using your browser. And then try to send this packet use socket

Search the web for the HTTP RFC and read it.  It will give you the requests that you must send as well as the response that you can expect from the server.  It is not difficult to find the RFC or to understand the basics.

Hi,

Thnx for the reply.

I've implemented the GET command from the HTTP RFC and am successfully able to download text files like HTML and XML. But I've a problem getting the Binary files lilke EXEs. Is there anything else need to be done to get EXE files or is there any kind of data conversion required for bianry files.

Nothing I am aware of. EXEs can be downloaded the same way as HTML, XML, etc. files. What is your problem, anyway?
