Sending bits to a specific url and socket?

I was wondering if I could send some information to a specific url and socket like a bitstream? Is it even possible?
Thank You

Yes you can. There are a variety of methods you could go about it too. If you want a raw socket based approach then check out Rama’s wiki tutorial. UDP sockets work similarly, but TCP are more like the stream based approach you described. You can resolve URLs with a method in the socket subsystem called GetHostByName.

You can also do it over http if you have a web server on the other end, do a search for http on the docs. I haven’t used that one yet so I’m not too familiar with it, but knowing UE4, it’s probably pretty straightforward.
