I am now a website owner and used a company called E-commerce
consortium based in Guidford WWW.E-cc.org ,they may be of help. They
were fantastic getting WWW.sharedinterests.co.uk off the ground.

I'm surprised the hosting site doesn't have interchange or at least one free
cart system installed. Every account I've ever bought does.

I'm grateful for these replies, and I'll be following up all the products
mentioned.
One thing that's exercising me is what to aim for in a first iteration.
I've had most success when I've delivered, quickly, the minimum worthwhile
system and then gone from there. Obviously, a "full" e-commerce system

That's one of the reasons for my post, but 20 years experience still isn't
enough to know everything!

I'd call that a fairly ill informed sweeping statement.
While building and testing a simple basket + checkout system
would take about the same amount of time as properly installing
and configuring OSC, this is not the case if you want additional
features.
OSC comes with a whole bunch of desireable features which would

If you have 20 years experience it would be just as quick for you to write

Yes there's no point writing your own when there are (at least) two
very goot Free ecommerce packages out there:
OSCommerce - [link]
Interchange- [link]
Out of the two OSCommerce seems to be the simpler to implement, but
not so versatile. Interchange is harder work but probably more

I've (just) been asked to build my first e-commerce site, selling small
consumables online. I'm a programmer of 20 years' experience, and have some
exposure to ASP, and (given time) could surely hand-code the whole thing
from scratch in any suitable language(s), but there's no point reinventing
the wheel! I use FrontPage when I want quick results, and use

No, something like

Well,

Host: [link]
\r\n
gives me

Hi joachim,
By this you just mean something like this, right?
GET [link] HTTP/1.1
Host: [link]
I've been trying this with the same results, IE. most servers work fine but
[link] and [link] (plus more) don't.
My line terminator is:
string nl = "\r\n"; // 0D0A

In article <3ae246c1.0303071110.2a360...@ posting.google.com>,
Actually, it's a Host header, and the OP had that in his example.
Several respondents have already pointed this out, and the OP said that
this didn't work either. Sounds like you're way behind in the thread.

actually it is, unfortunately for a forward proxy request to get
[link]
which is not allowed with most servers and probably not what the op
wanted anyways...
in fact HTTP/1.1 requests must have a Location header with the
intended hostname which allows for more than one vhost per ip address.
