about win32 programming. i have been trying to connect to a website using the standard socket , connect and recv calls. but although i am getting the connection and sending the data, i am not able to receive anything, why is it due to ? i have specified the port for the socket as 80 but the local port (as is seen from my log in the personal firewall) is said to be 1527, is it due that ? after waiting for a lot of time, the connection is said to close gracefully. please help me out in solving this problem.
