Download a webpage from the net, but...

[sufyaaan]

Hi all,

I need to download a webpage from the net, but:

1) using a custom User-Agent header,
2) with a Timeout of 60 seconds
3) without receiving cookies or cache files
4) and after it is downloaded, turn all relative URLs to absolute,
5) then parse all links and populate a ListBox control with the URLs

Anyone can help me out?

P.S. I want to accomplish this without having to use Inet control etc.

Your solution would be to use the Winsock control, or even better, the Winsock API.

There are other solutions, such as URLDownloadToFile, or AsyncRead of a usercontrol, but they don't give you as much control.

Here's a good site about using the Winsock API . If you have the option of using the Winsock control, it would make things a lot easier/quicker.
