Sending commands to a socket (C++)
Posted by LindonNetworks, 09-19-2008, 05:53 PM I'm trying to write an SMTP wrapper and I'm connecting to the mail server with winsock and connect successfully but how do I send the commands? send(lhSocket,"HELO\\r",strlen("HELO\\r"),0); Does it need to be \n to end the command?
Posted by DigitalLinx, 09-20-2008, 08:22 AM You're escaping the return with \\r, return (\r) and newline (\n) are a bit different you might want to use both like this Also note that strlen() returns when it hits a NULL character, it might be a better idea to use sizeof() in this case.
