I am just getting started. I have written a (simple)web server in C language. It opens a predetermined specific file (ex page1.html) and sends it out on the connection(On a predetermined port).The command line in the browser is (http://hostname:port_number) Now, I need to get the file name from the browser(Netscape/IE5). the browser command line will be (http://hostname:port_number/filename). I must be able to obtain the filename and put it into a char variable How do I get the file name from the command line. I am making the accept(....) and read(...) system calls in FreeBSD UNIX. I am using "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Comer vol III. Everything else works fine. I will be extremely thankful. Regards

It is not quite as simple as accepting the connection and just doing a read. You need to implement the HTTP protocol - the web browser and your program will have a "conversation" using that protocol. I suggest you get a book on what the protocol is and how to code for it (for instance Stevens book "TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 3"), or surf the web for that information.

i want to make one security software for that i need to trap the opening of my default browser. so how can i trape that i am writing my application in vc++.

I wanted some sample programs for dialing modem in SCO unix
