You might want to save that admiration for BAILOPAN since that file is in BAILOPAN/dvander's personal webspace.

I'm pretty confused by this plugin, probably because I'm not able to find any full documentation. I've read through the example.sp and socket.inc files, but I can't really see how I would make a connection to a page whose url is known only at runtime. From what I can tell, the SocketConnect() takes a host, not a full url, and there isn't any way to pass through an additional variable with the subdirectory.

I also can't figure out how I would get the information back as a String, rather than into a file.

You trying to do http stuff? If so, try steamworks.

SteamWorks can do arbitrary HTTP requests? Ok, I'll go post on that thread.

yea socket is more deep, you have to write the header and the body by yourself, you can read about http protocol on the wiki. by the way I would not recommend this extension if you going to call method from a web API or do allot of connections with it, it run out of socket at some point and need a server restart, close handle do not release correctly the socket.
