You don't need sockets.
If it's on Win32, you can do it easily with Win32 api
You can ask on specialized Win32 api newsgroup : news://comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
to get the various methods..
This is not helpful, this is just contradiction and telling the user to ask someone else. If you have information on a method to use to solve the OPs problem then please share it but telling them to ask elsewhere is not helpful.
I note that you have had a friendly warning about this sort of behaviour before therefore I am making this warning official. Continuing to ignore our warnings about this behaviour is now likely to lead to a ban on your account.
you could open a socket to the server you wish to retrieve information about and them use HTTP (it's a very simple protocol) to retrieve the required web-page.
