1. http string in dos32
Greetings!
This is my first time to do something besides browsing. Question is, how would
one go about firing up HTTP:// in dos mode. I notice that there are several
excellent programs for doing this with FTP (especially Monty's stuff), but
nothing for what I really need. Is this because the DLL's are so
Win32-oriented that it is impossible, or am I just missing something here? The
reason I am asking is that I have just managed to build and install a
commercial program for several banks to use to transfer funds with, and it is
completely written in EUphoria. The server that the program outputs to does
NOT take FTP, only HTTP. Any ideas?

Before we can help we need to know which banks (so we can withdraw our
money:)
Now - no one has yet written a browser in Euphoria. Secondly, regardless
of the language or browser used, you will need CGI or similar programs
running on the server to receive and process any data returned
by the clients. Do you have those working?
How do you intend to send data to the server? Via forms? mailto?

Unfortunatly you must use Win32 to easily access an HTTP server. I belive
all of the Euphoria programs that do this use Microsoft's WININET.DLL. If
you need help with this I may help you.
