i'm having some problems getting ServerHttpXml to work in .net.. I would
like to examine the alternatives to this in VS2003 and VS2005.

All i want to be able to do is to pass thru my proxy server and download
html (based on a url)

I would rather filter out certain characters as early as possible; if you
knwo what i mean.

Hi,

Screen Scraping
Add the following imports to top of file.
Imports System.Text

Imports System.Net


Sample code
'STEP 1: Create a WebClient instance

Dim wc As New WebClient



'STEP 2: Call the DownloadedData method

Const strURL As String = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/"

Dim aRequestedHTML() As Byte

aRequestedHTML = wc.DownloadData(strURL)

'STEP 3: Convert the Byte array into a String

Dim objUTF8 As New UTF8Encoding

Dim strRequestedHTML As String

strRequestedHTML = objUTF8.GetString(aRequestedHTML)

'step 4 save to html file

Dim fs As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\MSDNWebPage.html")

fs.WriteLine(strRequestedHTML)

fs.Close()

' step 5 display data

Process.Start("C:\msdnwebpage.html")
