Question about http request content

[marcwentink]

Dear People,

I do not know if alt.html is really the good groep for asking something
about http, but here is my question:

How can I send information from the browser to a simple socket
listener?

I am writing a program that listens on port 3456 and receives a http
request. In my browser I call http://localhost:3456/test.

In my C++ program, that listens on port 3456, I receive this request
in:

nRet = recv(new_socket, szBuf, BUF_SZ, 0);

Then in szBuf I can see a lot of things and information about the call,
but not the "test" string.

This is the information I get in szBuf:

---------------------------
PROG_NAME
---------------------------
GET /test HTTP/1.1

Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*

Accept-Language: nl

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)

Host: localhost:3456

Connection: Keep-Alive

Where is the string "test" gone?

Look harder

Ai, ai, ai, you are right, I am blind

You mean it's after the GET, right?

GET /test

Thanks a lot! I really did /*not*/ see it, overlooked the message.

Yeah, will I must say, now I see it too, and actually I feel a little
small, hiding between my console and my mouse, the screen is getting
bigger and bigger, and the letters "GET /test" look as big as those
letters in Los Angelos where they make those movies....

Yes I found it....
