Socket Don't Know to close

[cantene]

Dear Friends,

I am using a dsSocket to download something from a website. But the connection is not closed automatically after the data has been fully received. How can I close the connection automatically. What HTTP header should be used? (HTTP 1.1 is used)

Well surely once all of the data has been received just Sock.Close ...

Thanks for your reply. But I have tried just explicitly close the connection results in no change in the socket state. If I press the close button for twice, the error "Successful WSASARTUP not yet performed, err code 21093" occurs.

Anything, I have tried to use an alternative method to solve the problem. I post the request to the server using HTTP 1.0 then the connection will automatically close after the data is fully transferred.

Thanks for your help indeed.
