TCPObjects, how do they work?
Wordy:
I have recently seen many new TCPObject scripts which people who I am in contact with are capable of doing. But as they are capable of doing these scripts and I am the odd one who is unable to script such a thing, I am asking you guys on the forum to give me some basic advice.
How would I be able to make a TCPObject server in which a client can send information to the server? (The server is within Blockland and so is the client)
How would I be able to retrieve information from a website?
Is there any good examples of TCPObjects in certain scripts which I could take a look at?
Thanks.

First you'll want to learn about sockets and networking.

Would you be able to give me some information upon that?

Okay, so I've read through all that and I get the point, basically.
Now to use TQE to set up a TCP connection.
What functions are at my disposal?
