You are correct, applications which use the winsock api (which is an api to
work with/access the tcp/ip stack) usually removes ip/tcp/udp headers and
that sort of thing and only returns http protocol headers/content.
Special http protocol libraries might even remove some of the http stuff...
and just return some text or so.
