Right so I was going through the Sockets scripts and I FOUND AN ARRAY OF "http functions" allowing you to download/post data (I knew about the download data but the posting?)
I bet people could use this for trades as an alternative from mySQL....
I'm pretty sure Poccil made this....
HOW COULD I MISS THIS???
