Subject: Reading a returned code from socket and httpq

I have a question regarding sockets, I'm trying to use the HttpQ plugin
so open a socket to host x at 4800 plus passwd, and send commands, so 
far so good(commands working), but I'm having trouble figuring how to 
read the returned code.

All I keep getting is:"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: Winamp httpQ Plugin 
Version 2.1\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
at the end of this string there should be a return code like:

" 1" or " 5353. Singyguy - sillysong"

but there's nothing, so anybody have an idea how to do this?

-some code-
require 'socket'
passw='*****'
hostname='localhost'
port=4800
sock=TCPSocket.new(hostname,port)

sock.send("GET /PLAY?p=#{passw} HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n",0)
#executes the command, but no return code,there should be an 1 at the 
end of the str
puts sock.recv(128).inspect
#=>"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: Winamp httpQ Plugin Version 
2.1\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"

sock.send("GET /GETCURRENTTITLE?p=#{@passw}&a=1 HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n",0)
puts sock.recv(128).inspect   #=> should return something like:
#=>"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: Winamp httpQ Plugin Version 
2.1\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n" 2080. Artist - Song Name"
#but gives me: *notice no " 2080. Artist - Song Name"
#=>"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: Winamp httpQ Plugin Version 
2.1\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"

So I should receive the above string *plus* the return code, but ain't 
getting the last. Any help is appreciated.

if it helps
Socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', 4800)#=>AF_INET, 4800, adartse, 
127.0.0.1, 2, 2, 17

samples of code to use httpq, I'm looking at php's since I knew a 
bit(and forgeting fast, thanks to ruby)
