View 4 RepliesI am looking to go to a URL/URI download the resulting string as if I had opened a file and then get it out into a String variable.
I have been stuffing about with IO.Stream and Net.httpxxx but haven't managed to get the elements to line up in the right way.
I get "the given path's format is not supported" from opening the page in the standard stream, because it's not in the local file system ... that bit i understand, the bit I don't get is ... how do I achieve the equivelent of:
Public Function GetWebPageAsString(pURL As String) As String
Dim lStream As IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(pURL)
Return lStream.ReadToEnd
End Function
I read the following question to download a web page whose contents is coded in UTF-8. The page is then converted into a byte array, while I'm using a String to read contents from the page.
I need to turn UTF-8 into Latin1/ANSI since that's what RichText and MessageBox seem to use (I'm getting funny characters).
Is there a more direct way to donwload a UTF-8 page and convert it into ANSI/Latin1?
Edit: When callig MessageBox, accented characters are not shown as expected:
Content = CStr(e.Result)
'Théâtre, Métro
MessageBox.Show(Content)

I am working on a task in which I have to download all flash objects swf and flv files running in web page. I have got no clue to find he source of .swf file, as mostly swf files comes from other servers. I want to find out some way to find the source / url of .swf currently running. Kindly suggest me some way.
I have 2 ideas in mind, but currently unsuccessful in implementing them
1. Using WebBrowser class and somehow find url of swf.
2. Using Pcap to fetch all http packets and after decoding, some how try to find url coming.
Probably a simple question but I cant figure it out. I have a webbrowser control, which navigates to a URL where it logs in, then a different URL where theres some information I need. I would like to save this page as an HTML document. I can navigate to the page easily, so is there any way to tell the webbrowser to save the current page as an HTML document?
