Tcpobject

Hi

I've got a problem with TCPObject. I am trying to connect to a tcp server, currently for testing purposes only. The following code

function tcpClient::onConnected(%obj)
{
   echo("TCPClient connected");
}
function tcpClient::onDNSResolved(%this)
{
   echo("TCPClient DNS resolved");
}
function tcpClient::onDisConnect(%obj)
{
   echo("TCPClient disconnected");
}
function tcpClient::onConnectFailed(%obj)
{
   echo("TCPClient connect failed");
}
function tcpClient::onLine(%this, %line)
{
   echo("TCPClient line received: %s", %line);
}


function doWorldLogin()
{
   echo("executing doWorldLogin()");
   new TCPObject(tcpClient);

   tcpClient.connect("xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.org:80");
   tcpClient.send("GET\n");
   tcpClient.disconnect();
   
}

is linked to a button in the MainMenuGui (instead of xxxxx.xxxxxx.org:80 a real address is used) . Pressing either the button or calling doWorldLogin() from the console does nothing (it seems, because none of the callbacks ever get called) other than the echo(). BUT when I manually enter into the console:

tcpClient.connect("www.apache.org:80")
tcpClient.send("GET\n")

everything seems to work perfectly well (the onLine() callback receives the complete html for apache's main page as expected)

Clueless as to my mistake (probably something pretty stupid as I am only starting out with torque)

Any help would be largely appreciated!

Thanks
