That website's default support is the POST method, but you've used the GET...which in turn will work as well. :p
One thing you should be aware of is that if $2 is not a URL but something else, it may trigger the script to set the variables. You may need to make sure the $2 is a link.
You're encouraged to check up on the command /sockmark and the identifier $sock().mark so you don't have to set variables to be referenced.
Other than that, nice exertion you've made into this socket script.
