Your simple GET statement would probably work if you indicate HTTP/0.9, but it is questionable if the receiving server would direct the request to the correct domain (would only be if this was the "default domain" for the IP address). For a complete reference on the HTTP protocol look at RFC2616 ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2616.txt In short for your request to work you should at least transmit these lines: GET /lang_fr/ index.php HTTP/1.1 [CRLF] Host: www.myhost.com [CRLF] Accept: */* [CRLF][CRLF] where [CR] is a _complete_ CarriageReturn/LineFeed sequence "\r\n". Of course you may add more headers to it. You might also want to check out cURL for threaded requests. -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
