Need help using Socket

  • January 18, 2017

I need to connect to a webpage that contains a list of documents. Need to grab the next document ID available by reading the top most document.

Can somebody point in the right direction?

I tried the script that comes in the manual but something is not working right.

Thanks.

Hi funsekon,

I have a sample script that opens a socket connection and retrieves data from an internet site. I don't know exactly what "grab the next document ID" means, but this sample will at least show how to use the Socket object. Look at script 10.02.

Thanks Russ,

Your script is very helpful to understand the process. Seems like my issue may be the firewall blocking access.

reply = "";
conn = new Socket();
// access Adobe’s home page
if (conn.open ("www.adobe.com:80")) {
// send a HTTP GET request
conn.write ("GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\n\n");
// and read the server’s reply
reply = conn.read(99); //999999
conn.close();
}
