If you perform an HTTP request indicating a version of 1.0 or higher, a bit
more info is required for the server to process the request. Your simple
GET statement would probably work if you indicate HTTP/0.9, but it is
questionable if the receiving server would direct the request to the
correct domain (would only be if this was the "default domain" for the IP
address).
For a complete reference on the HTTP protocol look at RFC2616
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2616.txt
In short for your request to work you should at least transmit these lines:
GET /lang_fr/ index.php HTTP/1.1 [CRLF]
Host: www.myhost.com [CRLF]
Accept: */* [CRLF][CRLF]
where [CR] is a _complete_ CarriageReturn/LineFeed sequence "\r\n". Of
course you may add more headers to it.
You might also want to check out cURL for threaded requests.
