Hi Paul,

web request API consists of request target and request data. The request target is something like http://www.yahoo.com, the request data is optional, but may be required. Once you know these two parameters, you are in business. Then you could use, for example, Arnica WebFramework to make web request with just one line of VFP code:

cResultPage = THIS.oWeb.SubmitURI('http://www.yahoo.com', '@GET')


The URI stands for Unified Resource Identifier, which is more general term than URL. In your case the URI is http://www.yahoo.com.
