I'm running GTK on Win32 and have made an app that connects to a server and
downloads some data.
I tested it over my LAN and it works fine, using both 10.0.0.1 and
gethostbyname("amd") as the host in fsockopen(host, 80, 30)
I've now tried running it over the internet, trying to connect to the server
www.lottery-machine.co.uk or gethostbyname(www.lottery-machine.co.uk) but it
won;t connect to the server. The window that displays the downloaded data
contains a webpage which is produced by the web host when there's an error
of some kind. If I type in the GET request
(www.lottery-machine.co.uk/clientlogin.php?username=me&password=password) in
a web browser it works fine as expected.
I'm in touch with them about the problem but does anyone know what is
causing this? Does the host only accept connections from web browsers or
something?
