inet control or winsock?

Is there a way to get eitehr of these controls to send strings in regards to getting web pages. instead of bytes like the inet, or the whole think like winsock. Any suggestions would be apperciative. I am new to these controls and do not know there limitations.

Well, first of all i would like you to make
yourself very clear and precise the next time
you put up a question

I'll answer all the possible questions i could
figure out after reading your question

Note: None of these things can be done in winsock
______________________________________________

1) Reading and retreiving whatever there is on webpage using strings.

'Note: using inet you have to specify a username and password for accesing web pages, sites, downloads etc.

Dim input as string

inet1.username = "abc"
inet1.protocol = icHttp
inet1.password = "abc"

inet1.openurl "http://www.microsoft.com/hello.html", input

msgbox input

2) Putting text on a web page
inet1.username = "abc"
inet1.protocol = icHttp
inet1.password = "abc"

inet1.execute "http://www.microsoft.com/hello.html", "PUT" _
, "Hello VB"
