httprecvtext from a Non-standard Port 

Keywords: 	 httprecvtext

Question:

Is it possible to download text from a web server that is not running on port 80?

In a web browser, I would use the URL http://www.server.domain:1080 to connect to a server running on port 1080

Is there any way to do this using the http functions of Winbatch?

Answer:

  1. Use HttpFireWall in the Internet Winsock extender.

  2. With the WinInet extender - which is more advanced - its easier (just put :1080 on the end of the host name as you would suspect.
