Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Simple Socket Program--Client Side

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is a simple example of a C program for client side socket
programming. It sends a request to a Web server to determine the
supported HTTP command options. A server running the HTTP/1.1 protocol
will return the options. A server running the HTTP/1.0 protocol should
return an error.

If you run the program to talk to www.possi.org, you should get back
the options supported by that server. If you run the program to talk
to www.scoug.com, you will see that earlier versions of Apache sticks
to the HTTP/1.0 protocol.

I used the Gnu/EMX complier to compile the program. Be sure to
include the socket library at the end of your compile command:
- -lsocket.
