cookies and winsock

lets say I have:

VB Code:

Cookie name: sampler
Value: 1105058236
Server: netscape.com
Expire: 2005-12-28
 
Cookie name: CoBrandedFor
Value: AIM
Server: netscape.com
Expire: 2005-12-28

How would i send that in winsock?

I would guess in strings. Possibly over binary? I don't know a whole lot about the subject myself.

Like do I have to send the data like "Cookie: cookie data here" ? If so how would i get the name, value, server, and expiration date in there?

Am I to assume that you are sending it from a server to someone's pc?

A great link that I was shown today is: www.winsockvb.com
It has all kinds of examples, but you have to search around a little.

I assume you have little winsock experience? If so i'd suggest learning a bit about the basics of client/server applications and the winsock control.... a good url was posted previously winsockvb.com!

heres a little rough sample of what you might want to do though.

VB Code:

dim strData as string
strData = "sampler"
Client.senddata "Cookie: " & strData & "/"
DoEvents
strData = "1105058236"
Client.senddata "Value: " & strData & "/"
DoEvents

You would send the "/" as a delimiter so that you can seperate the data received once on the server side.. you'd use split function to seperate into seperate strings based on "/".
