Very Computer

    I'm trying to do an broken link detector in UNIX. Well, my program
runs well, but I have a problem.

    When it connects to the server which haves the URL specificated, it
returns me: "403 Forbidden", but when I, from the browser, check the URL
it connects well.

    Any suggest?

    My code is:

    // Parse the url -> Obtains the host, and the url requested
    ...
    // Open the socket whit AF_INET options
    ...
    // Connect to the server
    ...
    sprintf(msg, "GET /%s HTTP/1.0\n\n",
url_requested_whithout_the_host);
    // Send the request...

    ....

    // Waits for response
   ...

    Must I do any thing else? What is wrong in the request?

    Note: I tried to do this with a telnet and it fails, too !!!

    Thanks in advance,

You're not sending a Host: header in the request.
