My code sends a HTTP HEAD request to a website. The website then replies with its information. How can I extract the status code from the first line in the reply? the status code is the value after "HTTP/1.0" it is either 2xx or 3xx.
code:
#define BUF_LEN 2048
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int csd;
struct sockaddr_in server;
struct hostent *server_host;
int server_len;
int string_size;
short server_port;
char req_buffer[BUF_LEN];
char temp_buffer[BUF_LEN];
char receiveBuffer[BUF_LEN];
char resource_buffer[BUF_LEN];
int t;
if(argc!=2)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Usage: %s <website> \n",argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
server_host=gethostbyname(argv[1]);
if (server_host == NULL)
{
herror("While calling gethostbyname()");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
csd=socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(csd<0)
{
perror("While calling socket()");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
server.sin_family=AF_INET;
memcpy(&server.sin_addr, server_host->h_addr_list[0], server_host->h_length);
server.sin_port = htons(80);
server_len=sizeof(server);
t = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *) &server, server_len);
if (t<0)
{
perror("while connecting()");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else
{
printf("connected to server\n\n");
}
sprintf(temp_buffer, "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n");
strcpy(req_buffer, temp_buffer);
sprintf(temp_buffer, "HOST: %s\r\n", argv[1]);
strcat(req_buffer, temp_buffer);
sprintf(temp_buffer, "\r\n");
strcat(req_buffer, temp_buffer);
printf(req_buffer);
write(csd, req_buffer, strlen(req_buffer));
read(csd, receiveBuffer, BUF_LEN);
printf(receiveBuffer);
close(csd);
}
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char* inputstr = "HTTP/1.0 200";
int response = 0;
/
* On success, the sscanf returns the number of variables filled.
* In the case of an input failure before any data could be
* successfully read, EOF is returned.
*/
if(sscanf (inputstr, "HTTP/1.0 %d", &response) == 1)
printf ("response code %d\n",response);
else
printf ("It failed");
return 0;
