Recieving data from an http connection

[posty68]

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 ?

	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

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:

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;
