OK but how about trying your login user?

Ah. I finally figured out what you meant in your original reply: The user and password used for anonymous access to the Web site. I entered my own user name and password as the anonymous login in the Directory Security / Authentication and access control dialog in my Web site's properties page and my test script successfully opens the socket. Now I just need to figure out what permission(s) to give to IUSR so that it can do the same. Or just stick with lighttpd, since it works running, presumably, as the SYSTEM user. Sascha Meyer's post alerted me to who you are. I admit that knowing I was corresponding with one of the PHP icons pushed me to have another look at this. I'm glad I did, as I learned something new, but I sure wish I could get back even half the hours I've spent on this project so far. :) Thanks for your help. -evan
