I am a newbie in Socket Programming. I am trying to create a socket to a HTTPS website. The socket is created successfuuly and i am able to connect using and send the header... But as a response from recv() i am getting no header response neither i am getting -1... the program is just blocked there... The site has open port 443 for https...
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<netdb.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int status;
struct addrinfo hostInfo;
struct addrinfo *hostList;
memset(&hostInfo, 0, sizeof(hostInfo));
hostInfo.ai_family = AF_INET;
hostInfo.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
cout<<"Setting up the structs..."<<endl;
status = getaddrinfo("academics.vit.ac.in", "https", &hostInfo, &hostList);
if(status == 0)
{
cout<<"Success"<<endl;
//cout<<hostList->ai_addr<<" "<<hostList->ai_socktype;
}
else
{
cout<<"Failled!";
}
int socketd;
socketd = socket(hostList->ai_family, hostList->ai_socktype, hostList->ai_protocol);
if(socketd == -1)
{
cout<<"Socket Error\n";
}
else
{
cout<<"Socket Success\n";
}
cout<<"Connecting\n";
status = connect(socketd, hostList->ai_addr, hostList->ai_addrlen);
if(status == 0)
{
cout<<"Success"<<endl;
//cout<<hostList->ai_addr<<" "<<hostList->ai_socktype;
}
else
{
cout<<"Failled!";
}
cout<<"\nSending Header\n";
char *msg = "GET /student/stud_login.asp HTTP/1.1\nhost: academics.vit.ac.in\nConnection: keep-alive\nCache-Control: max-age=0\nAccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.52 Safari/537.36\nReferer: https://academics.vit.ac.in/\nAccept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch\nAccept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8\nCookie: ASPSESSIONIDAWRSBBBS=HJBNNABBBAIADHKAGEFLELJK; ASPSESSIONIDCUTRADBT=GNMNDGBBFDJHBLHABHDGCCOO; ASPSESSIONIDCUQTABAT=IOAAMMNBACANEDJFMGMLMNJA; ASPSESSIONIDAUSQBCAS=GBNFBCOBEKIOJJHFPMJNMJII\n\n";

int len = strlen(msg);
ssize_t msgSize;
msgSize = send(socketd, msg, len, 0);
if(msgSize == len)
{

}
else
{

}
cout<<"Waiting to recieve data\n";
char rmsg[1000];
msgSize = recv(socketd, rmsg, 10, 0);
cout<<msgSize<<rmsg<<endl;
}
Thanks in advance :)
