TCP Objects
jes00:
Could someone teach me how to use client sided TCP objects?
Fluff-is-back:
Totally explaining these would take a long time. What are you trying to do? Then we can provide you with an example and an explanation.

Get a line of text from a website.

Then it would probably better for you to use HTTPObjects:
new HTTPObject(GetThePage).get("google.com", "/file.txt"); // Create the HTTPObject and tell it to fetch the page "google.com/file.txt
function GetThePage::onLine(%this, %line)
{
%this.page = %this.page NL %line; // Once we get a response, for every line we get, we want to add it all into a single buffer
}
function GetThePage::onDisconnect(%this)
{
doStuffWithPage(%this.page); // The server has disconnected us, we therefore have the whole page stored in %this.page
}

So lets say I wanted to retrieve something from my website which is in txt format, lets say www.wordie.co.cc/text.html - it'll return with the text which I have wrote on it?
