Creating a server

Monkey Forums/Monkey Beginners/Creating a server

I want to create a server and clients to talk with the server.

So I went to: http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/docs/html/Modules_brl.tcpstream_TcpStream.html
and ran this example at there:
#If TARGET<>"glfw" And TARGET<>"android" And TARGET<>"ios" And TARGET<>"stdcpp"
#Error "Invalid target!"
#Endif

Import brl.tcpstream

Function Main()

    Local stream:=New TcpStream
    
    If Not stream.Connect( "www.monkeycoder.co.nz",80 )
        Print "Failed to connect!"
        Return
    Endif
    
    Print "Connected!"
    
    stream.WriteLine "GET / HTTP/1.0"
    stream.WriteLine "Host: www.monkeycoder.co.nz"
    stream.WriteLine ""
    
    While Not stream.Eof()
        Local line:=stream.ReadLine()
        Print line
    Wend
    
    stream.Close
    
    Print "BYE!!!!"

End


it's working fine.
Then I installed xamp with apache and created a page in html who's printing "hello World" at http://127.0.0.1/test.html

and works fine.

but I tried to replace
If Not stream.Connect( "www.monkeycoder.co.nz",80 )
to
If Not stream.Connect( "http://127.0.0.1/test.html",80 )

And replaces
stream.WriteLine "Host: www.monkeycoder.co.nz"
to
stream.WriteLine "Host: http://127.0.0.1/test.html"

and when I run the program, it's printing "Failed to connect!"

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, you have corrected message!

Change to
If Not stream.Connect( "127.0.0.1",80 )


stream.WriteLine "Host: http://127.0.0.1/test.html"
to
Host: 127.0.0.1




App has to connect to server then send some extra info to server to request a web page according HTTP protocol.
Host, Get, Post, etc commands. Wait answer and close connection.

Look at MServ source (blitzmax) from Monkey distribution as close to Monkey code.

No http:// and test.html are in the .connect() method and "Host" command.
Call html document in the GET command, where GET / means return default document (usually index.html, etc)
