Rather that noting the HTTP / GET/1.1 as a request, it is labeled as
"Continuation or non-HTTP traffic"  by ethereal.  It gets an ack back
from the server.

Here's an example of a legitimate get request:

Ok, yea I can confirm that the socket is sending but that's it ...

I am not seeing any errors in the console either.

So since this code is fairly old I will surmise that there has been an
underlying API change breaking the socket code.

I could be as simple as a component function rename, component class id
change, interface rename, etc ...

I will try to take a look.

Pete,

Although I could not get the client to connect to a web server
properly, when I made a small server application in VB.net, it was
able to connect, send, and receive.  I believe the only failure was
that after my server closed the connection, socket.xul did not
recognize the connection as closed.  It was closed using TcpClient's
Close() member in System.Net.Sockets in VB.net.

There's an update for you.  Maybe the something is munging up the HTTP
GET or the string in some way. the server stub I am using is not
looking for any particular protocol; it's responding to anything.

I'll still look for updates if you find something.

Thanks,
nick

Rajeev,

My goal it to connect via TCP to a server that I will design.  I was
using web servers just to test it to see if it would work, by opening
a connection and sending and HTTP GET command.  As I noted, however,
this did not work - but I have seen some success with a simple tcp
socket connection (with no specific command required, it just receives
anything).
