i just started messing around with sockets and i'm having some problems with some HTTP recv()s. please excuse if my GET request is messy/wrong. I just basically stole firefox's GET request and added the proxy info to it.

as far as style and error correction and stuff goes, well it's not there. i was just trying to strip it down to it's bare bones and figure out what was wrong with it.

what i'm getting back is weird. i don't get the whole page, and it doesnt come in order. if a page was in sections like 0 1 2 3 4 5, i may get the message as 5 2 4 2 3. obviously something is fundamentally wrong with the way i'm recv()ing.

I was under the impression that the recv() function had to be looped until it wasn't receiving any more data. I tried it without the loop too, and I only get the first piece of the page(but at least it was the first piece and not a random piece).

My previous research has taught me that HTTP 1.1 usually uses chunked transfer encoding. how do I handle that? i thought it was by looping the recv() function, but what i'm doing is obviously not working.

If you use HTTP 1.0, is that a way around chunked encoding? it still seems like I only get the first X bytes.

i've messed with this for a while, and I either get only the first piece, or a disorderd page. any pointers?



attempt with HTTP 1.1 and a loop

void inet::GetHTTP()
{
    char msg[1280] = "GET http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/2935 HTTP/1.1

    int msglen = strlen(msg);
    int bytes_sent = send(s, msg, msglen, 0);                     
    cout << "Bytes sent: " << bytes_sent << endl;
    cout << "Request sent: " << msg << endl;

    char buf[262144] = {0};
    int i = 1;
    while(i) i=recv(s, buf, 262144, 0);
    cout << "\nData Recieved\n\n" << buf << endl;
