Need help Website Navigating with HTTPRequests and WinHttp

[CT83]

(Sorry if this topic is in the wrong section, please suggest a better place if so.)

Hi! a newbie here, since a few weeks i have got the basic hang of Pixelsearch, Controlclick, Imagesearch functions and now would like to proceed to Automating Internet navigation.

In this case i am trying to develop a Script which will keep a watch on amazon page and notify me when the price of a commodity drops. I can program the latter part but i still am in search of a better way to , navigate and basically watch webpages with out actually having them on the screen

Therefore, I need some guidance with HttpRequest, and Winhttp functions, can anyone please refer me to tutorials, links and example scripts for a complete noobbie? Some detailed Video Tutorials, and Guides would just be icing on the cake.

Sorry, if this sounds too naive. Hoping for positive replies

Do you know what it returns?

Global $dHTML = InetRead('http://a.co/1CK6358')
Global $sHTML = BinaryToString($dHTML)

No sir, I have no idea how to use these functions. And I am not familiar with them at all. I just need to know to use them, i mean the basics. I was hoping some one here could guide me, To get my basics of network programming right. I am extremely sorry if this is too intrusive, just a geek trying to learn.

If you're trying to learn, then I suggest downloading AutoIt and SciTE and look at the help files and example scripts or look here for some tutorials.
