define MAX_SIZE 0xFFFF
class Main {
function Main() {
// get the command line arguments
var args=CLArg();
var host=DEFAULT_ADDRESS;
var port=DEFAULT_PORT;
if (length args) {
host=args[0];
if (args[1])
port=value args[1];
}
var s=SocketCreate();
echo "Connecting ... ";
if (SocketConnect(s, host, port)==-1) {
echo "Couldn't Connect to $host on port $port: "+SocketError(s)+"\n";
return 0;

SocketWrite(s, "GET /\r\n\r\n");

SocketRead(s, var data, MAX_SIZE, false, true);
WriteFile(data, host+".html");
SocketClose(s);
