HTTP Source Code

[derkaderka]

Hello,

I am trying to make an application that monitors changes in web pages. Specifically, the change in a certain line of a specific web page. Do do this, I need the source code of the web site. However, I don't want to use Internet Explorer to do this. I know how to get the web source code in C#, but I want to do it in autoit. Can you help me?

Have you tried _INetGetSource function ?

[derkaderka]

Thanks, I didnt know that existed

There is even a function that is native to AutoIt that does it, InetRead() which returns binary so it has to be converted to a string.

$sSrc = BinaryToString(InetRead("http://www.someurl.com"))

@GEOSoft: _InetGetSource is just a wrapper that combines BinaryToString and InetRead with proper error-handling.

[GEOSoft]

Well aware of that but thanks. My thoughts are if that's the only function I'm going to be calling from that UDF then I'm not going to be #Inclding it.

Just Use InetGet("http://website.com", "source.html")

Code may not work as is just off the top of memory.
