I am a complete newbie when it comes to socket and HTML connections.

I can get SOCKCLI, SOCKSRV1 and SOCKSRVM to work but not SOCKHTML.

When I type a web address or IP address as SERVER-NAME, I get 'Unable to connect to server'.

When I type plain numbers instead, the program stops responding.

Is there a specific format for SERVER-NAME? How to get this program to work? What does this program actually do?

Use an internal server name such as dev.companyname.com or you could put in www.yahoo.com or any other url. The program builds an html page called webpage.html with the content of the site that it connected to.

That's exactly what I did. It didn't work.
