I am having problems reading data from a URL.
This data is details and GPS locations of a number of vehicles (Buses)
I can read it with Firefox opening with Notepad and see it is binary with some printable text.
If I open with Internet Transfer or Webbrowser I get a blank screen
If I open with IExplorer (ver 6 in my XP machine) I get the "Cant open" notice.
Is there a way to open it with Winsock and read to a stream in Vb6, erasing the stream as I read each vehicle? What port would I use?
Do I have to send it some code once connected to start it downloading?
This is the URL: This is the sender's description "The feed is an actual continuous stream which is in Protocol Buffer (Googles simplified XML platform) and has to be queried continuously"
I would have no trouble decoding and handling the data in vb6 once I could receive it.
I am not very familiar with HTML so any help would be appreciated.
