Hello,<br />
<br />
This question refers to ASP, not to ASP.NET.<br />
<br />
Given a URL, I need to download a page and put it's body into a variable.<br />
<br />
This needs to happen at the server-side. &nbsp;Because of the nature of my application, to download this in javascript or browser-side vb is unacceptable. &nbsp;It must be downloaded by the server, and not by the web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

How to fetch a URL in ASP

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
