Regarding IPP headers

[p.mdriyaz at gmail.com]

Hi,

The program to forward some local port at the client end to the server port 631 works fine. Able to print too. But we only get this(even if we give some print command):

Client:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 238

Client:
Content-Type: application/ipp
Host: 0.0.0.0



@
Server:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server:
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 09:04:43 GMT

Server:
Server: CUPS/1.1

Server:
Connection: Keep-Alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=60
Content-Language: en_US
Content-Type: application/ipp; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 977




Client:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 238

Client:
Content-Type: application/ipp
Host: 0.0.0.0

Could you tell us how to get those details.

Thank You,
