Solution 1

you need to save the images in a stream and send them to the client on by one.

(the client must be constantly listening for data)

what transport layer protocol are u using to send the data? (UDP, TCP??)

Hi Kurt Degiorgio,
I am using TCP protocol for sending data.
In my client program I am able to stream like a video in my client program I am receiving 1 image and displaying it on my main CWnd so I am repeating it in a thread.But in browser I am getting only image/Snapshot if i refresh i am able to see the next image.How can i stream it like a video in WebBrowser.Thanks in advance.

that clarifies things a bit you need to use JavaScript, html5 or flash to display the image one after the other i.e simulate animation.
I also think there are open source projects that do this. try google

is there any way of finding from where request came.Means i am using accept function which gives the handle of the socket from where i got the request,so from that i can access my image continuosly if i got request from any web browser.Can you please help me out from this problem.

first of all are you attempting to stream the images on a web browser or in your applications GUI? if the latter case then you need to create an animation with the video, the easy way would be 2 just change the images in order to simulate animation. (i.e not the must efficient but should work on paper) what do you mean by "finding from where request came" do you mean which host?

Actually I am able to stream like a video in my client program (i.e., in my application GUI) but in web browser i am not able to stream like video.If I enter ipaddress and port number in web browser it sending request only once again if i press refresh it sending request again,so how to send request continuously from web browser once i enter ipaddress and protnumber.

I developed my server using visual C++ by using CSocket
