Hi. I’m trying to create an small Web Proxy in C. First, I’m trying to get a webpage, sending a GET frame to the server. I don’t know what I have missed, but I am not receiving any response. I would really appreciate if you can help me to find what is missing in this code.

int main (int argc, char** argv) {
   int cache_size,     //size of the cache in KiB
       port,
       port_google = 80,
       dir,
       mySocket,
       socket_google;

   char google[] = "www.google.es", ip[16];
   struct sockaddr_in socketAddr;
   char buffer[10000000];

   if (GetParameters(argc,argv,&cache_size,&port) != 0)
       return -1;

   GetIP (google, ip);
   printf("ip2 = %s\n",ip);

   dir = inet_addr (ip);
   printf("ip3 = %i\n",dir);

   /* Creation of a socket with Google */
   socket_google = conectClient (port_google, dir, &socketAddr);
   if (socket_google < 0) return -1;
   else printf("Socket created\n");

   sprintf(buffer,"GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n");
   if (write(socket_google, (void*)buffer, LONGITUD_MSJ+1) < 0 )
       return 1;
   else printf("GET frame sent\n");

   strcpy(buffer,"\n");
   read(socket_google, buffer, sizeof(buffer));

   // strcpy(message,buffer);
   printf("%s\n", buffer);

   return 0;
}

And this is the code I use to create the socket. I think this part is OK, but I copy it just in case.

int conectClient (int puerto, int direccion, struct sockaddr_in *socketAddr) {
   int mySocket;
   char error[1000];

   if ( (mySocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) {
       printf("Error when creating the socket\n");
       return -2;
   }

   socketAddr->sin_family = AF_INET;
   socketAddr->sin_addr.s_addr = direccion;
   socketAddr->sin_port = htons(puerto);

   if (connect (mySocket, (struct sockaddr *)socketAddr,sizeof (*socketAddr)) == -1) {
       snprintf(error, sizeof(error), "Error in %s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
       perror(error);
       printf("%s\n",error);
       printf ("-- Error when stablishing a connection\n");
       return -1;
   }
   return mySocket;
}

Thanks!
