bizguy72 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi, I want to retrieve a URL (http) and place the contents into a variable. The application I am building will be made available to other people and as such I have no control on what browser each user has.....some may have IE, some Firefox, etc. I have looked at the AutoIt doco and '_INetGetSource' seems like it will do the job. Note that the docs for the related function 'INetGet' state that "Internet Explorer 3 or greater must be installed for this function to work.", however there is no such remark made for '_INetGetSource'. Therefore, am I correct in assuming that the use of '_INetGetSource' is browser independent? If not, what alternatives do I have available to me so that I can retrieve a URL independent of the browser installed on a machine? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielkza Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 INetGet uses libraries that come with IE3 and in Windows by default in all versions since 98, I think. Even in Windows 7, where you can uninstall IE, you can't remove it's libraries and the embedded controls. Therefore, it's safe to use INetGet in virtually 100% of the installations, whether the users have Firefox, Opera, IE, or whatever browser as their default.
