    Brad,

    Here’s how to connect to a web server using the HTTP Client.

    You should probably turn on “enable_all” for your engine output alias so that there’s lots of stuff in the log to look at.

    Select the HTTP Client driver for protocol and press the properties button.

    Type in a URL like “http://www.ebay.com

    Then pick a query TPS:  httpQuery

    And arguments:  {MSGUSE DATA}

    Save and run the thread.  Resend something.  I like to send the pid file since it’s right there and is only one line.

    When I did this from linux it gave me an error, a 404, which means that ebay didn’t like my request.  When I did this from W2K ebay sent me their home page.  Either way, you’re talking to the web server.
