Windows COM [w/ C++ source code] DescriptionThe COM object Intrafoundation.TCPClient allows you to talk to any Internet server using TCP/IP such as: HTTP, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, IMAP, IRC, FTP, WHOIS, ECHO, RLOGIN, FINGER, etc. You could for instance ask an internic WHOIS server to return information on a domain name. Or you could do a FINGER on JOHNC at IDSOFTWARE.COM to read John Carmack's .plan file. Or query a POP3 email server, or an NNTP news server, or an FTP server, or just about anything else.
Simple, but useful.
More specifically it provides for asynchronous communications to any TCP/IP based server (which is just about everything higher-level on the Internet). You can send text messages to or receive messages from any of these servers. You can send or receive binary data back and forth from them as well.
This COM object provides only the elemental, base functionality you need to talk to these servers. As for what you're supposed to say to them and what do the messages they send back mean, well... Try reading the official RFC text documents to learn their languages.
But, as an example, a good way to start out with the SMTP mail server is to simply hold out a hand and say:
HELO
What you do afterward is up to you....
