does anyone have a proc that will open up a socket to a site on another server?

i do not need to post anything i just need a http get call to pull in some information from another site without having to use frames...

can anyone help me?

You will find this very helpful:

Look at the second TCL Code download, with HTTP_GET defined in tcl.  This forum and codedog are about it that I've found for onlin resources.

The code of the library just in case:
[# Syntax :
    [http_get {$server} {$path}]
    where server is your webserver : www.codedog.net
    path is the url : /thepageyou/need.html
]
[proc http_get {server path} {
  set httpsocket [socket $server 80]
  puts $httpsocket "GET $path HTTP/1.0"
  puts $httpsocket ""
  flush $httpsocket
  set output_from_webserver [read $httpsocket]
  return $output_from_webserver
}]

Hope this helps.
