Hello,
1)
I am wondering if you could show me little example writing a socket in c++ for UNIX.
Write a quick program that will receive data html from google.com
Example:
Enter a URL: google.com
Output: <html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset . ... .. .
... ...
.......
.
</html>
This will output the data... :P
------------
2) Do you know where I can get a totorial/example for c++ socket for UNIX.

Yeh I know this link but exame code from this link is C

The above links should get you started.
This is for windows programming. I want it for Unix :PQuote:

The programming for windows and Unix sockets is very similar, they are both based on the interface/sytax standard set by Berkeley. So once you study Windows Sockets you probably wont have much trouble in Unix because you'll notice the same commands with the same syntax and both will still use the IPv6 format.
sockets are not part of any langauge standard, thusly it is the same in coding them in C/C++.
In Windows you need to run WSAStartup() and WSACleanup(); otherwise it should be the same for Windows and Linux/Unix.Quote:

Did you actually bother to read any of the tutorials ?
Im not sure about the difference between linux and Unix but in the first paragraph of one of the tutorials it says :
"I'll be writing this tutorial from the point of view of a Windows user just for the sake of explaininglarge chunks of code that the WinSock authors felt were needed... :rolleyes: I'll explain, throughout and at the end, how to get things working in Linux"
