Subject: Re: TCP Sockets

I did the following and it works great:

--- SNIP ---

require 'socket'
require 'io/wait'

f=File.new '< --- enter your filename here --- >', 'w'

req="GET "<<ARGV[0]<<" HTTP/1.1\r\n"
t=<<EOF
Host: www.myhost.com          # enter your hostname here
Accept-Encoding: gzip

EOF

req<<t

s=TCPSocket.new('localhost', 80)
s.send req, 0
run=true
while run
	sleep 0.5
	rec=s.ready?
	if rec.kind_of? Numeric
		t = s.read rec
		f.print t
	else
		run=false
	end
end
f.close
print "Exit\n\n\n"
