1. webserver
No one is using Srvsckip.ew? What lib do you prefer for async internet
access?
But ok, lemme rephrase the previous question, in using Eu to serve
webpages, what is the way one would get the ip# of the connecting client?
Since i am one person, with no assistance in any coding, and don't want to
open the firewall to a bouncer, all i get is 127.0.0.1 now. I am using
WsockGetSockName(Socket) in Srvsckip.ew, which calls some c_func i
don't understand yet. Am i doing this right?
And i noticed IE doesn't drop the connection, it uses Keep Alive, so how do i
force the socket closed at my end once the page is sent?
cCloseSocket = define_c_proc(Winsock, "closesocket",{C_INT}) in
Srvsckip.ew doesn't seem to do it. And how do i know the client read the
page i stuffed into the socket? Cause if i close it before it's read, the client
doesn't get it.

Yup, just tried it out and:
sequence ip
ip = WsockGetSockName(Socket)
Will get the IP address of the foreign host as a string (4 octet doted
format).

Try:
WsockCloseSocket(Socket)
WsockCloseSocket is included in srvsckip.ew
Also, you probably want to send this header to the browser when you
return the page:
Connection: close

Good luck with whatever project your doing here :)

Cool, i was using that! But when i ask for the port number, i keep getting
only port 47, that's not in the temp port range IE usually uses. What's with
that?

I am.

I am:
tmp=WsockSendData(Socket,"HTTP/1.1 200 OK"&CRLF&
"Server: TiggrBot"&CRLF&
"Date: "&sprintf("%d",date())&CRLF&
"Expires: "&sprintf("%d",date())&CRLF&
"Content-type: text/html"&CRLF&
"Connection: close"&CRLF&CRLF&
"<html><head><title>TiggrServer
test</title></head>"&CR&
CRLF&CRLF)
Which works fine (i know the date is wrong, but the big problems get first
attention), IE likes it fine, but in a dos box, netstat /a says the ports are
still
in use. Which might explain why i must wait a while before
WsockRecv(Socket, 65535) gives me valid data again. The sockets are
timing out, they are not being closed by me. This happened in mirc too, but
mirc has a sockclose that *does* work, the sockets are forced closed, even
if the data in them is unsent, and there is a command to see if the data was
retrieved by the client too. Anyhow, not being able to close the connection is
unacceptable, so what can i do?

Thanks! 
Since i broke the working irc client that was using tcp4u, and since i wanted
better async operation and a multipurpose interface, i thought i'd give this a
try.
