1. DNS'ing an IP_Address
I'm working on a chat program..
But I'm wondering how I can get the IP address given a Web address..
IE..
some.site.com = 123.4.5.6
if someone enters a web address, how do I convert it to the IP? Or do I
need to..
Specifically, this pertains to eulibnet..

Well, you could call the routines in WebShepard (in archives, for windoze), use
mirc /dns (like i
do most of the time), or use NSI lookup (at http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-
bin/whois/whois) which will give you the ip number range given to that domain.

What is that again? And why would it want to connect to a dynamic ip http web
address? If
you have a domain registered, the ip# will be static as long as the host doesn't
change. Even
then, if you have a redirector as the primary ip#, such as a web addess at xoom
or whereever,
the chat client can pick up the correct ip# there and connect to it, the
redirect can be coded
any number of ways.

Hi,
Sorry this reply is a little late, I've not been
reading this list for
a couple of days and I'm just catching up :)
I've attached dns.ew which contains the function
dns_DNSToIP which
will return the IP address (as a string) of the
domain passed to it.
Example:
include dns.ew
puts(1,dns_DNSToIP("irc.dal.net"))
Hope it's usefull :)
PS: If anyone reading this throught the web
interface wants a copy
let me know and I'll email it to you directly

5. Re: DNS'ing an IP_Address
Looks like something wrong with Topica:
Now I'm getting 2 copies of most messages, and they have
all the headers attached, like this one from Thomas Parslow to the
list: Also, the attachments aren't attached, but the base64 encoded
stuff appears at the bottom of the message.
Anyone else getting this?

I haven't figured out the right way to
handle attachments while moderating.
I sent a message to topica about it.
You got two copies of Parslow's message because
I sent it twice. I was trying an experiment.
Until we figure it out, I would recommend
in-lining any small programs etc. rather than
attaching them.
