I've got a client I started writing which may have some useful code, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/liveqt . It's for the Sharp Zaurus, but the Qt calls should be mappable to socket() stuff.

Are you doing CRLF for the newlines? Have your variables been URL-encoded?

If you don't get the documented response, what do you get? Do you get the same thing if you try the same request via telnet?

Do any modes work?

You are using POST and not GET, right? And if you don't mind, paste *exactly* what your client is sending to the server (sans password) and we should be able to help... :)

Alright i get a perfect return when i use the login mode..
The code i'm using for the getfriends mode is :
sprintf(getfriends, "POST /interface/flat HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.livejournal.com\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nContent-length: %d\r\n\r\nmode=getfriends&user=franknbeans&password=xxxxxxxxxx", 78, ljName, ljPass);
bytes_sent = send(sockd, getfriends, strlen(getfriends), 0);
/*error check*/
do {
bytes_read = recvfrom(sockd, buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, 0, &temp, sizeof(temp));
printf("Bytes_read -> %d\nBuffer-> %s", bytes_read, buffer);
}while(bytes_read != 0);

Now all it does is say 0 bytes read, and if anything is there for buffer it's garbled junk, or what i recieved from the login. If you need more of the code let me know i'll post it. I thought this was the relevant info though. Thanks again for all the help... Frank M.
