[personant 0]

to all the pros out there..help me! I cannot get the html sources from youtube. I would like to get the sources and save it in a html file.

below are my current script

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <INet.au3>

#Region
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 490, 122, 192, 124)
$YTlink = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 24, 24, 441, 21)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Get Source", 176, 56, 129, 41)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
        Case $Button1
            $url = GUICtrlRead($YTlink)
            getlink($url)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func getlink($url)
    $String = BinaryToString(InetRead($url))
    FileWrite( @DesktopDir & "\source.html", $String)
EndFunc

Once again..help me!

I tested your code and it works just fine. For the address you typed in, you probably was not using the FQDN sceme.

Example: typing in www.yahoo.com did not work. Typing http://www.yahoo.com did work.

To compensate for people who won't know or remember, you can write a little more code that will fix that. I don't have time to test it right now, but it would go something like:

$temp = StringLeft($url, 3)

if $temp = "www" Then

$url = "http://" & $url

EndIf

no...even though the source file was saved on the desktop, but the file is blank..

and I still cannot get the html source

The posted code works fine for me too, with 'http://', that is. W/o the 'http://' prefix, the target file is created emptily..

What about you post a script that can be run and doesn't work as you want?

Hardcode the input and only show the needed lines of code.

InetGet("http://www.youtube.com", @ScriptDir & "\index.html")

not working.... even the below code are not valid

#include <Inet.au3>

$s_URL = "http://www.youtube.com" 
$html = BinaryToString(InetRead($s_URL))
MsgBox(0, "", $html)

That code is valid & I was using AutoIt V3.3.6.1

Definitely something with your system, check your firewall settings etc
