[PD] how to do a http request from pd to a webserver and get the results

[Roman Haefeli]

hi

[netclient] from maxlib (
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/maxlib/ )works in both ways,
sending data to server and receive data from it.
i tried the same thing and it worked technically, but instead of getting
the index.html-file i always got a html-file with an error-msg like 'bad
request'.
i don't know much about the http-protocol, but it seems you have to send
a quite accurately 'formulated' request to get the data you want. may
you try to connect from your brwoser to [netserver] (also from maxlib)
in order to see how such a request-msg looks like.
i always failed, but you may will be luckier than me. if so, let me
know.

cheers
roman
