Hi there,
Sorry if this has been asked already - I had a quick search but am still stumped!
I'm currently designing a system which is supposed to trigger off events coming over the com ports and then send messages to a web client to request a web page from a web server. The client may either be running or not running beforehand. Either is good.
Clearly this is possible, since email clients are able to do this - but I can't seem to find out how. Most of the previous posts have been about making the request from the web client. Does anyone know how I make the web client to it?
I need to do this on Windows not using MFC (also will be on Linux, but that's not important right now...).
Many thanks for all your help!
