Genrel Question Benchamark of function

I'm building a script to interface with website.

And i know about 4 ways to interface with website

There is Curl but its a external program...

There is Wininet.dll

There is winhttprequest Object

(And there is Inetget but its not subtable for my needes)

What is in you opinion the fastest why?

And how can i benchmark them?

Your only criteria is "fastest"? Not a very complicated set of benchmarks. Just use TimerInit()/TimerDiff() to see how long they take.

... but make sure to avoid caching when testing because you basically said:

There are four ways

-Curl

-Wininet.dll

-Wininet.dll

-Wininet.dll

There are some more ways (or just a way) posted arround

Well i had some more criteria .. but this are all the ways that support all my criteria.

I'm now building each way and testing there speed with TimerInit/Timerdeif. Its seems that must of the time spet in curl is from this code...

Dim $sOut = ""
While 1
    $sOut &= StdoutRead($iLogCurl)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
WEnd
While 1
    $sOut &= StderrRead($iLogCurl)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
WEnd

-Wininet.dll

Well you mean that Inetget and winhttp object both using the wininet.dll?

What more ways of cxonecting do you know? I would love the help...

Thanks
