Hi,

There exists a VFP command FileToStr() that
gets a txt file and puts its into a string:
e.g.
cFileName = "c:\data\somefile.txt"
cFileContents = FileToStr( cFileName )

This doesn't work when for example
cFileName = "http://www.Website.com/SomeFile.htm"
or cFileName ="http://192.168.1.1/SomeFile.htm"

My problem is now that I need the same functionnality as FileToStr() but by using the http protocol. (Like a webservice that returns html). I already experimented with automation (creating a hyperlink object oLink,followed by a oLink.NavigateTo) but this didn't work and results in an instance of internet explorer that I don't need.

Can anybody help?


Thanks in advance,

Mark
