I made this a little while back for a friend who was having trouble learning sockets. Below are snf.h, snferror.h and example.cpp (a little example).

The example opens a "web server" at port 8080 on the machine. However, it displays just one page.

Have fun!

Grab a remote web document using sockets, with limited handling for 301 & 302 redirects.

This is a simple PHP script that will show whether a certain port/socket of a certain computer is currently open/active.
