Super simple Socket example

This example uses HTTP 1.1 to retrieve a web page. Code, and then wireshark it to see what the network traffic it generates looks like. 

   1 using System.Net.Sockets;
   2 using System.Text;
   3 
   4 string IP = "128.119.245.12";
   5 string request = "GET /wireshark-labs/INTRO-wireshark-file1.html\r\n" +
   6                  "Host: gaia.cs.umass.edu\r\n\r\n";
   7 
   8 TcpClient socket = new TcpClient();
   9 socket.Connect(IP, 80);
  10 NetworkStream stream = socket.GetStream();
  11 stream.Write(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(request));
  12 
  13 //Reading the response
  14 StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  15 byte[] buffer = new byte[65536];
  16 stream.ReadTimeout = 15000; //15 seconds
  17 try
  18 {
  19     do
  20     {
  21         stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
  22         sb.Append(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer));
  23     } while (stream.DataAvailable);
  24 }
  25 catch (Exception ex)
  26 {
  27     sb.Append(ex.Message);
  28 }
  29 Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
  30 
  31 //Wireshark this message this to see network traffic.
