Re: fsockopen help!

The problem with fgets is that it either - reads until eof... not suitable for network protocols - reads until length has been reached... also not known - reads until \n, also a major problem hence you have to use fgetc or fread with length one... and read byte by byte to construct a full line... then parse the line for codes/data whatever is required of the protocol.
