C language, get HTML source - c

Question

I'm trying to get the HTML of this page http://pastebin.com/raw/7y7MWssc using C. So far I'm trying to connect to pastebin using sockets & port 80, and then use a HTTP request to get the HTML on that pastebin page.
I know what I have so far is probably WAY off, but here it is:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
int main()
{
/*Define socket variables */
char host[1024] = "pastebin.com";
char url[1024] = "/raw/7y7MWssc";
char request[2000];
struct hostent *server;
struct sockaddr_in serverAddr;
int portno = 80;
printf("Trying to get source of pastebin.com/raw/7y7MWssc ...\n");
/* Create socket */
int tcpSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(tcpSocket < 0) {
printf("ERROR opening socket\n");
} else {
printf("Socket opened successfully.\n");
}
server = gethostbyname(host);
serverAddr.sin_port = htons(portno);
if(connect(tcpSocket, (struct sockaddr *) &serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) {
printf("Can't connect\n");
} else {
printf("Connected successfully\n");
}
bzero(request, 2000);
sprintf(request, "Get %s HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: %s\r\n \r\n \r\n", url, host);
printf("\n%s", request);
if(send(tcpSocket, request, strlen(request), 0) < 0) {
printf("Error with send()");
} else {
printf("Successfully sent html fetch request");
}
printf("test\n");
}
The code above made sense to a certain point, and now I'm confused. How would I make this get the web source from http://pastebin.com/raw/7y7MWssc ?

Answer 1

Fixed, i needed to set add
serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
and bzero serverAddr, and also my HTTP request was wrong, it had an extra /r/n and spaces, like #immibis said.
Corrected:
sprintf(request, "GET %s HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: %s\r\n\r\n", url, host);

You are getting the pointer returned by gethostbyname() but you weren't doing anything with it.
You need to populate the sockaddr_in with the address, domain and port.
This works...but now you need to worry about obtaining the response...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
int main()
{
/*Define socket variables */
char host[1024] = "pastebin.com";
char url[1024] = "/raw/7y7MWssc";
char request[2000];
struct hostent *server;
struct sockaddr_in serverAddr;
short portno = 80;
printf("Trying to get source of pastebin.com/raw/7y7MWssc ...\n");
/* Create socket */
int tcpSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(tcpSocket < 0) {
printf("ERROR opening socket\n");
exit(-1);
} else {
printf("Socket opened successfully.\n");
}
if ((server = gethostbyname(host)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "gethostbybname(): error");
exit(-1);
}
memcpy(&serverAddr.sin_addr, server -> h_addr_list[0], server -> h_length);
serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
serverAddr.sin_port = htons(portno);
if(connect(tcpSocket, (struct sockaddr *) &serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) {
printf("Can't connect\n");
exit(-1);
} else {
printf("Connected successfully\n");
}
bzero(request, 2000);
sprintf(request, "Get %s HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: %s\r\n \r\n \r\n", url, host);
printf("\n%s", request);
if(send(tcpSocket, request, strlen(request), 0) < 0) {
printf("Error with send()");
} else {
printf("Successfully sent html fetch request");
}
printf("test\n");
}
