    Resolved [RESOLVED] winsock giving me gibberish

    I have 72.14.207.104 as both the Remote address and the host (in the SendData)

    The first thing ill get back from GetData is the HTTP data in plain text, but the next data is always like this:

    ±ïÉnÍd¦¢²GŽúà@þ~IẏvžÅt
    Ž'u†yCM5êÀ
    or
    ÿ*Yk{›8þ¾

    If I try google.ca as the host I get "the page has been moved"... same goes for google.com... but all else gives me gibberish.

    Whats going on? What is gibberish text? It should work fine by IP (thats how the packets are when they leave my PC).

    Hard to say without seeing the headers you get back. Might be GZip-compressed data or something else.
