none of those links works.  either: http://ip/image.giforimage.gif doesn't =
work. why?Because, i don't know how to make a www folder using winsock, so =
i can drop images, html source and all that so that the web could be able t=
orequest them successfully. look what i do so that the images can work on t=
he server: This is just an example: (source code isn't real, is just a mode=
l) if( GET \ image.gif HTTP/1.1){     send(image.gif)} If i don't use this,=
 when the browser tries to download the image form http://ip/images/the ima=
ge fails. And this is the only output the browsers can send. If only the br=
owser request for all of the imagesthen the server would work very fine. Fo=
r example: if( GET \ image.gif HTTP/1.1){     send(image.gif)} if( GET \ im=
age2.gif HTTP/1.1){     send(image2.gif)} if( GET \ image3.gif HTTP/1.1){  =
   send(image3.gif)} I really understand who HTTP works and how servers wor=
k. I just don't know how to make the www folder or the database or whatever=
 name is that folder called, so that i can drop files there for the request=
s. To give you an idea, i am building something like IIS.
