Can any one give me exact fromat for sending the request..
Gosh, it almost sounds like you're trying to do HTTP in particular, not just TCP/IP in general. In which case, I guess you ought to refer to some HTTP documentation. You could check out http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html , specifically all of chapter 5 for making the GET request, and chapter 6 for understading the response, and 9.3 for understanding the semantics of the GET method. For example, to get something from http://www.google.com/index.html, you will probably want something like this: GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 [cr-lf] Host: www.google.com [cr-lf] [cr-lf] You may want to specify other headers besides just Host; that's just an example. Of course, once the server replies, you will need to pay attention to stuff like Content-Length, Content-Type, response code (first line of the response), and maybe the Content-Encoding. By the way, it can often be helpful to fire up a telnet client (even Windows has telnet.exe) and connect to port 80 of a web server and experiment with making your own GET requests. It's much easier than trying to build it into an application before you know that you've got the protocol right. - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
