connectTo is not a web browser, but low level TCP/IP; it wants a hostname, and only a hostname. If you wanted to write a web browser or HTTP fetch utility, you would connectTo the host on port 80 and then conduct an HTTP exchange to GET /ip. There are higher level libraries if you want to use HTTP without writing it yourself. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
