Retrieving URL clicked upon Winsock Connection?

[azpc]

How can I retrieve the URL clicked upon Winsock Connection? My plan is to have a webpage that has a bunch of ftp links to a computer (i.e. ftp://13.57.12.65:6969/d:\download\something.zip), and i need to know what the user clicked on to get to my program. I've got a Winsock thing setup that looks like this..


WinS.LocalPort = "6969"
WinS.Listen
WinS.GetData URLFromClick


I need to get this so that I can parse it when it comes to the server computer, so that it can get the filename (i.e. d:\download\something.zip) and send it to the user. How can I attain the url that was clicked?

What about something like this?

(From VBPJ October)

Private Function PageRequested (ByRef srHTTP As String) as String
Dim sSub As String
Dim nPosition As Integer

sSub = Left$(srHTTP, InStr$ (srHTTP, " HTTP/"))
nPosition = InStr(srHTTP, "/")

PageRequested = Trim$(Mid$(srHTTP, nPosition + 1, Len(sSub) - nPosition))
End Function


Just put the return value from winsock's getdata method as the srHTTP paramater. This will pull the page or file address, relative to the current page.

Yes, I already know how to split up the text from the URL, but lets say i have the internet explorer control on my form and it pulls up a website that connects to different clients that will be using my program (similar to napster interface). how can i get which link was clicked.. like if they click ftp://132.54.656.12:6969/j:\something\up.zip i need to know what they clicked because i need the end of that statement j:\something\up.zip so that the server (recieving users computer) will be able to send me the file. when i use the getdata method now it returns nothing off of a click from the webpage. do i need to put this under a certain item, right now i have it under WinS_DataArrival, and ive tried it under WinS_Connect and WinS_ConnectionRequest? Anyone can give me any info. Ohh by the way, thanks for the help that you gave, it fixed some of my code.
