H!

I was testing something with getting the a ip from my website and have this test results

with eof() 23 seconds
with-out eof() 1 or less seconds !!!

the only thing is that you must know how many line's you need to read. (but I can use php for that)

code with eof()
www=OpenTCPStream("213.211.129.194",80)
If Not www RuntimeError "Failed to connect"
WriteLine www,"GET /get_ip.php HTTP/1.1"
WriteLine www,"Host: www.zquare.nl"
WriteLine www,"User-Agent: ZquareTest"
WriteLine www,"Accept: */*"
WriteLine www,""
While Not Eof(www)
Print ReadLine(www)
Wend
CloseTCPStream www


code with-out eof()
www=OpenTCPStream("213.211.129.194",80)
If Not www RuntimeError "Failed to connect"
WriteLine www,"GET /get_ip.php HTTP/1.1"
WriteLine www,"Host: www.zquare.nl"
WriteLine www,"User-Agent: ZquareTest"
WriteLine www,"Accept: */*"
WriteLine www,""
