SockTest

SockTest lets use your Sockets DLL (winsock) to connect to any host on any port and send / receive information. This means that, with the extensive help file included, you can Ping, Finger, and get Web (HTTP) content - or do any other type of connection (FTP, Echo, etc.).

An in-depth Help discussion is devoted to how Web Forms translate into the HTTP "POST" method with examples on how to write automated text scripts to extract Web Form data (e.g. stock quotes) and examples of the associated C code to do this.

Best of all, SockTest is FREE and, and, AND the MFC source code is FREE (but copyrighted, of course). Even "class" outfits like VisionX Software make reference to SockTest!

SockTest is a 32 bit application tested on Win95.

SockTest was developed using Microsoft Foundation Class in C++ and will compile under VC++ 6. As no Win32 Common Controls are used and all calls are to the winsock API (no instances of CSocket class), you should be able to adjust the source to compile under any version of Visual C++.
