Re: HTTP Object and Retrieving HTML Programatically

I am using ASP.Net 2.0 and VB.Net (although C#is ok also).

I want to create an object/method/function that will take a URL as an input
parameter and then return all of the HTML in that page.

I also want to return the HTTP header information (response object).

Does anyone have an insight as to any code samples or .Net objects I would
use to accomplish this?

TIA

Use WebRequest:

Dim PageUrl As String = "http://...";

Dim req As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(PageUrl),
HttpWebRequest)
Dim enc As Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252)
Dim r As HttpWebResponse
Dim s As System.IO.StreamReader


r = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) ' This is your response
s = New System.IO.StreamReader(r.GetResponseStream(), enc)

Dim html As String = s.ReadToEnd()

r.Close()
s.Close()

Response.Write(html)

.
