Recieving data from an http connection

Hi

How can i recieve a data stream/file from an http connection ?
this is my connection, is there a function i need to read in the data ?

Code:

---

        CHttpConnection* pServer = NULL;
        CHttpFile* pFile = NULL;
        INTERNET_PORT nPort;
        CString strErrorCode,strObject;
        DWORD dwServiceType = AFX_INET_SERVICE_HTTP;

        CInternetSession Session(_T("HTTPDialog"),1,dwAccessType,NULL,NULL,0);

        pServer = Session.GetHttpConnection(strServer,nPort);

---

thanks

MSDN has a very nice sample which shows how to do what you are looking for. take a little time out. I really dont remember where it is. most prolly in Chttpconnection's samples.

I will have a look, thanks

But if anyone can remember exactly what function that would be good

Thanks

Nope sorry !
i have had a look through the msdn and the TEAR example, only shows you how to send a message to an http server and then process the response

Not recieve a message/data from an http connection that is contacting you, trying to give you the data.

I can open the connection but my problem is how to recieve the message being sent to me ....


Anybody got any ideas ?

after you get the http connection do the following:

Code:

---

CHttpFile                        *        pHttpFile                                = NULL;

                // do request
                pHttpFile = pHttpConnection->OpenRequest(
                        CHttpConnection::HTTP_VERB_GET,
                        sPage                                                                                                        // pagename
                );
                if(pHttpFile == NULL)
                        throw new CTestException(_T("OpenRequest()"));

                // send request
                fRet = pHttpFile->SendRequest();
                if(!fRet)
                        throw new CTestException(_T("SendRequest()"));

                // read, close file and delete object
                pHttpFile->Read(szPageBuffer, uiBUFSIZE);

                // cleanup file
                pHttpFile->Close();
                delete pHttpFile;

                // cleanup connection
                pHttpConnection->Close();
                delete pHttpConnection;
               
                // cleanup session
                pInetSession->Close();
                delete pInetSession;
