Asked by: FeVeR

Hi,

I'm trying to access the full source code of this url:

https://www.aanet.com.au/usage2.php?0393492717,member

Instead of using inet.Execute, use blah = inet.OpenURL("https://www.aanet.com.au/usage2.php?0393492717,member", icString)

After a short delay, blah will be a string containing the whole page.

 

by: FeVeRPosted on 2004-06-14 at 07:32:33ID: 11306802

no, i've tried that too!? unless there is something special about using icString
i'll try!

 

by: FeVeRPosted on 2004-06-14 at 07:33:43ID: 11306815

no it doesn't work!
for some reason i only get the first 11 characters!

thanks for the idea though

 

by: FeVeRPosted on 2004-06-14 at 07:35:02ID: 11306832

It's strange!
This:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   MsgBox Inet1.OpenURL("https://www.aanet.com.au/usage2.php?0393492717,member")
End Sub

gave me the whole string (9569169127,17112655126,2004-06-19 10:55:42,21)! Try to experiment with Inet1.RequestTimeout

 

by: FeVeRPosted on 2004-06-18 at 21:52:55ID: 11349846

that it very strange! thanks very much for trying it for me Ark

 

by: FeVeRPosted on 2004-06-18 at 21:55:27ID: 11349854

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox Inet1.OpenURL("https://www.aanet.com.au/usage2.php?0393492717,member")
End Sub

gives me just "9569169127,"

and no more

i'm using the microsoft internet controls 6.0 is that right?

 

by: BurbblePosted on 2004-06-19 at 10:30:31ID: 11351803

Hmm, this is very strange.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   MsgBox Inet1.OpenURL("https://www.aanet.com.au/usage2.php?0393492717,member")
End Sub

Returns 9571431590,17148995110,2004-06-20 02:55:31,21

Do you have any type of firewall or proxy that might be interfering with the function? In the past I have seen Norton Internet Security interfering with things like this, causing seemingly inexplicable problems...

What type of Internet connection do you have?

That's all I get using MSN Explorer.  I don't know what all you're getting.  And, when I went to that site, it wanted me to download a php file.  Is that what it's supposed to do?

Of course, if you're talking about the download, I'm not sure how to view the source of a php file in VB or even in Internet Explorer.
Sorry, and I do hope you find the answer to this.

Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Resize()
Text1.Height = frmSource.ScaleHeight
Text1.Width = frmSource.ScaleWidth
End Sub

I'm posting this for you, since it's the View Source command and form in a web browser I downloaded.. Hopefully (maybe) it  will work for you.  

Here is what it gave me....
"<HEAD></HEAD>"
"<BODY><PRE>645939577,1610228378,2004-06-23 09:54:51,21"
"</PRE></BODY>"

Hope this helps you.
