winsock not recieving data

i wrote a simple socket client and for testing i tried to connect to a http server and send the http command 'GET / HTTP/1.1' but i get nothing back. i've looked through other post, and searched online, from everything i see it should work. here's the code:

Code:

---

target.sin_family = AF_INET;
target.sin_addr.s_addr = *((unsigned long *)host->h_addr);
sck = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (connect(sck, (SOCKADDR *)&target, sizeof(target)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
        cout << "error connecting to target" << endl;
        closesocket(sck);
        WSACleanup();
        return 0;
}
char outBuff[BUF_SIZE];
char inBuff[BUF_SIZE];
int bytes_recv;
do
{
        cout << "->";
        cin.getline(outBuff, BUF_SIZE-2);
        if (strcmp(outBuff, "quit")==0) break;
        strcat(outBuff, "\r\n");
        if (send(sck, outBuff, strlen(outBuff), 0))
        {
                cout << "send successful" << endl;
                bytes_recv = recv(sck, inBuff, BUF_SIZE, 0);
                if (bytes_recv != 0 && bytes_recv != SOCKET_ERROR)
                {
                      cout << inBuff << endl;
                }
        }
        memset(outBuff, 0, BUF_SIZE);
        memset(inBuff, 0, BUF_SIZE);
} while (true);
closesocket(sck);
WSACleanup();

Your HTTP statement is incomplete.
It should be something like:

Code:

---

char httpreq[] = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST:website.com\r\n\r\n";

---

Notice the \r\ns

ahh it was an extra "\r\n" i needed. i knew it was something simple i was overlooking,
thank you that's been driving me crazy.
