Is there a way of getting text of website without browsing to it?

[JiggyPiggy]

I know you can get the text by using innerText on a webbrowser object. I was just wondering if you can get the text without having to have a webbrowser object browse to the site. I think there was a different object, xml or something.

You can use the HTML Object library

Or, if you like a challenge, open a Winsock connection to the site on port 80, and issue HTTP commands.
