If this wasn't so frustrating, I'd laugh. Every time I try to make VC do something useful, it pulls something like this on me, and I toss it out for a year or so. The order of the controls is correct, the files have been saved repeatedly, yet the behavior doesn't change. I suspect the next step will be to delete both rows and start over - I predict that this will cause the rest of the rows to misbehave, based on past experience with VC. The really annoying thing is that these two rows of buttons are set up exactly the same as the other 14 rows, and those 14 behave perfectly! There has got to be some setting somewhere that the IDE won't let me see that's causing this trivial thing to fail.

Hi.
I am working on a HTTP client. I want the program to download a specific webpage. The program initializes a connection to the web server and requests index.html.
GET index.html
However, for some reason most web servers I tried have responded with errors about bad requests. I would like to know what is the HTTP command to download a website such as index.html?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

> telnet www.msn.com 80
Connecting to www.msn.com.....
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: blah

Okay. Thanks.
GET / HTTP/1.1
That works on some website, buts not all. I will continue debugging. HTTP programming is depends on more on the web server than an absolution solution on the client side.
How do popular web browser including IE and Netscape handle all web server? There are many possible HTTP commands and combinations.

Some web servers requrie a valid Host: entry which is usually
Host: <your ip>
and some even check the Agent: header
Agent: Mozilla (blah blah)

The GET line should contain the full URL and HTTP version:
GET http:

|
|
|
|
Okay. Thanks.
I will try that approach.
Some server require the Host to be exact. For instance, www.xyz.com might want members.xyz.com. There is no way to determine what the server wants without first seeing an error response.

menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1);
menu.EnableMenuItem(ID_MENU1_ONE, MF_GRAYED);
menu.GetSubMenu(0)->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, AfxGetMainWnd());
}
i've also tried this:

Every once in a while I hear this pop up that break statements should only be used in switch statements and continue is just bad.
IMHO, this is a question of style and thus I am not interested in if it is right or wrong. What I would like to know, how many people think that break/continue are bad and how many do not.
So? What do you guys think?

I don't like using them except as you say break should be used in switch statements.

I use break all the time to exit simple loops (yes, I know this is a "violation of structured blah blah..." but I couldn't care less  ). As for continue, I don't use it that much.

All generalizations are false. 
break and continue have their place. Every programmer knows what they do, so using them won't cause others to scratch their heads in confusion. (Unlike something more esoteric, like say complex templates.) If the code is readable with those statements, then by all means use them.

break in a for loop often shows a while loop should have been used. In switch statements, I don't see what the problem is.

I think those break/continue discussions, as well as some other structured programming mottos like "one return for function" are a little outdated these days. Most complexity in today's programs comes (hopefully) from OOP architecture, not the design of local code. Personally, I tend to use whatever resources that make the code more understandable and/or simple, and breaks inside loops are often very handy.

I love them. I think they can make for more readable,
better documented loops-- especially in those loops
with large bodies. I say use them when control flow
is easier to picture because of it. I personally hate
to read code that is deeply nested for no other reason
than style.

Hi,
I have radio buttons in my dialog and want to disable some of them according to the state of other radio buttons. The problem is that it seems impossible to add a member variable for radio buttons in MVC++6! (but check boxes are ok)
I basically want to do the following:
m_radioButton1.EnableWindow(false);
Thanks 
|
|
|
|
|
the Wizard will create only one variable for a radio button group, the one variable contains the "index" of the radio button of the group that is chosen.
I think you can add them manually ( preferrable since you'll learn something more ! )
you can always do :
CButton* pButton = (CButton*)GetDlgItem( IDC_RADIO_BUTTON1 );
pButton->EnableWindow( FALSE );
Max.

Thank you a lot Max

Did you have a look at the regmon [^] tool from sysinternals.
They have the source for that tool. I'm sure it would be a good starting point.

I had a conversation with a friend of mine and he was determined that exceptions were bad if you could get the same effect from returning an error code instead of throwing an exception. Some of the reasons where that exceptions incur way too much overhead, are overly complex and not portable. Are these arguments correct? Also, are there any documents that cover this topic extensively for pros and cons?
Cheers,
Clint

The problem with checking error codes is that people don't do it. Throwing an exception *forces* your app to deal with them (or die a horrible death).
Exceptions incur overhead, yes, but they should be only used in exceptional cases i.e. for things that should never happen. For example, if you're opening a file you should handle the case where the file is not there. If it's a user opening a Word document, that's a reasonable situation and can be handled by a return code. But if the file *should* be there, that's an exception.
And ask your friend how they are not portable! They are.
Scott Meyers "Effective C++" books are always a good place to start for this kind of thing.

Exceptions don't require you to handle them. As you said yourself, you just die a nasty death. I really doubt that the people who don't check return code care about exceptions.
