    1. There`s a server at the other end. which I have no access to except through a windows client I am trying to automate the process and make it possible to run on any other platform.
    2. Not much of anybody can understand. I might be missing something though.

      Yes. Client's usually connect to servers. What does the client do? What does it show you? Pictures, music, text, share prices, other?

      How did you capture that data? (From perl, cut&paste from the screen, other?)

      It might have been useful had you posted it as a hex dump.
