How To Know When Winsock Is Done Getting Data?[tcp-website]
Im connecting with a website and recieving data through the winsock control[TCP]. On my getdata, I will get sometimes 2-3 dataarival events because the winsock cannot fit as many chars as the website contains. Is there any way to know when the end of the website comes?

Winsock, Website Data
I have a scenario, where:
1. I can get the login information sent via get method in the url – But im not that keen on that because it shows up in history.
2. I can make VB enter the information into the website, but I am really clueless about winsock, any help would be helpful
Scenario 1 - I would like to know if it is possible to delete that certain url from history (Or even clear it all)
Scenario 2 – I really am unsure how to enter data into a online form (post)
But even after that I need to be able to read the html, then display certain parts of the information, I know in other information/scripts you are able to slect the line, then char that you want to read, I just cant seem to grab the html.
Any help would be useful.
Thanks.
Winsock Syntax? (To Request A Website With The Winsock Control)
Ok, I don't know very much about Winsock and am just now starting to use it. I'm making an anonymity program that modifies referer and user agent data. I managed to find an example of how its done on planetsourcecode.com but there's a few things that aren't working.
Anyway, when this string is sent, it sends the headers and a request for index.html from the connected host (winsock1.connect domain.com 80).
GET index.html HTTP/1.0
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/x-comet, */*
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Encoding: gzip , deflate
Cache-Control: no-cache
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Whatever
Referer: www.whatever.com
But when I used the website http://ipid.shat.net/ as the domain to see if code mdified the headers or not, it directed me instead to just www.shat.net. How would a browser request information to ipid.shat.net?
Also, I noticed that by sending just that information, cookies don't work properly. What other tags do I have to add onto that for it to recieve my session information? Thanks a lot.
Send Website Informations Via Winsock To Someone Else
I'm playing a massive-multiplayer-online-game. that means i have go online 5 times aday for about 3min. the game is programmed by a friend of mine. Now the computer-manager in school forced my friend to programm a IP lock, so we can't game from school.
I now want to programm 2 programms. a server and a client. the server would run 24/7 at my home PC and have to go and get the homepage and send the informations to the client. and the server has to click on a button in the website, but i want to say where to click, while working on the client.
How to get all the informations form the website, that I can send them with Winsock?
And how to make a click on the website at the server application, while sitting behind the client?
Just tell me how and what commands to use, I can try out and programming Winsock is no problem.
Winsock And Multi-Host Website, Where Is The Problem ?

Get Data From A Website
I'm looking for some code so that I can put the title of a webpage in a string.
So the user gives a website, and the code makes a string with the title of that website. With the title of the website, I mean everything that is inside the <title></title> tag.
or maybe it isn't as simple as I think?

Get Data From Website
Hello, for a program I am making, I have to have information on differenct cars. I found a website that has just the information I need on all the cars. My problem is, there are hundreds oh cars on this site. I was wondering, how I would be able to do the following to quicken up all the data entry.
I can type all the links in, and it puts it in a listbox. When I push cmdGetData, it will goto each page I have listed, grab the stats for each car, and then save it to an access database. So there is one db file, with many fields and records.
The website is http://www.fast-autos.net, and each page has the stat format as found here:
http://www.fast-autos.net/astonmarti...rtindb7gt.html
I just need the stats to the left, not the whole story on the car.
For example: it will look at the page, and see the word 'Horsepower', and add the number to the field in the access database 'Horsepower', and check for the rest of words.

How To Extract Data From Website
Hi there,
I am trying to download/save some financial data from the Yahoo! Finance website. The website (http://table.finance.yahoo.com/d?s=dna) has a form with 3 input fields: start date, end date, and ticker symbol. The user submits this data and the server returns the corresponding data in tabular form. I want to extract the data in this table and save it as a "*.csv" file (Comma Separated Values). I tried using MS Excel's "Get External Data" wizard, but this can be done only for one stock at a time. It gets a bit tedious when you have to do this for a 100 different ticker stocks, every single week. I want to be able to run the macro/VB Script so that all the tables are redownloaded everyweek and the ".csv" files are overwritten by new ones.
I am completely new to Visual Basic and to Excel and need help in getting started. Could some kindly guide me in the right direction? Is there a tutorial or website where I can learn how to write and run scripts in MS Excel? I will appreciate any comments/suggestions/advice. Thank You much.

Data From Website - Toughie...
For me at least :-)
www.betfair.com provides odds for sportsbetting. Each selection within an event has a pop up info window that comprises left side and right side. e.g. window for: Basketball/NBA Championship/Outright Winner/Sacramento Kings (address got by right clicking) of left hand panel area is:
http://www.betfair.com/Betting/MoreI...=Europe/London
Right hand panel is:
http://www.betfair.com/Betting/MoreI...InfoRight.asp?
The left panel's address used in IE6 brings up the left portion of the screen - but not consistently
The right hand address doesn't bring up the history table even when same parameters are applied (it used to do before a recent side 'upgrade')
So my question is: How to reliably get the data in these panels?
Hope someone can help.
Capturing Data From A Website
OK, this is the age-old question. Does anyone know how (or can refer me to any source of information) I can use VB6 to extract data from a website to use in a VB6 application? I will use the usual example of extracting stock and share prices from a "live" site, such as the Australian Stock Exchange (which, coincidentally, is exactly what I am trying to do). As an example, say I was creating an application for my desktop that accessed the internet to extract the live share prices from the remote website to display them in my application. Anyway, any advice and/or assistance would be gratefully received.

Data Entry Through Website
I thought I would let my fingers do the walking and see if anyone up here has some ideas.
I want to create a simple database and access it through a website hosted offsite. Then I need to be able to query it for certain parameters. Depending on the query answers, I want to be able to add/delete/modify records via the website.
Can this be done in VB6?
Should I screw around with vb.net?
Can this be done with MS Access?
Just starting to look but would appreciate any ideas you have.

Hello, I'm trying to automatically upload an image to imageshack.us, but I can't get it to work.

Also, I'm not really sure if "fileupload" and "submit" are the correct names, but I couldn't find anything else in the source code of the webpage.
Does anybody know how to upload an image to ImageShack by code?
VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() WebBrowser1.Silent = True WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.imageshack.us"End Sub Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant) WebBrowser1.Document.All("fileupload").Value = "C:myfile.jpg" WebBrowser1.Document.All("submit").ClickEnd Sub

How Do You Send Data To A Input Box On A Website?
Hello. I have a webbrowser on my form, and I want to know how its possible to send data to input boxes on the webbrowser - kind of like a "autofiller" - something like what Gator does or what MSIE does when you have a stored password, it puts it in for you. What I want to do is read the HTML, and locate statements such as <input type="text" maxchars=21 name="email">, and then automatically (or by using a command button) send data that is already defined in a file, or in the Text1.text Text2.text, etc in the form itself. There is a good example of what Im trying to accomplish at http://www.roboform.com, except I cant exactly use roboform on my webbrowser in my form . So, does anyone know how to do this?? Ive heard I have to locate the webbrowser using API, and then use SetText (also API), but have no clue on how to do this . If anyone knows, dont hesitate to post below.
thanks

Post Data To Website Without Loading Browser?
How do i post data that is say stored in some variables in VB, to a remote website using a method similar to Method=Post to post the details. Or is there a simpler way? Also the program needs to be hidden, preferably running as an NT4 Service (if anyone knows how to do that be my guest) so i dont want it to load any browsers, or it can load them but make them invisble to the user.
The reason i want it to be a service is so that it works when Nobdy is logged on.

Crawl Website And Pull Certain Pieces Of Data, How?
I have been able to program an app to load a website and crawl through a certain area of it.
But now I need to be able to pull specific pieces of information from it.
For example. The site shows,
part number, desc, quantity on hand, and price
Can anyone provide parsing assistance on how to get this info and put it in a database. I would just cut an past into excel but its over a 100 pages worth.
It is NOT xml, wish it was. It just plain html code and the part number information is in two rows.
It does have <A Href="#" name="skus" onClick="javascript.... at the beginning of the line so maybe this will help.
Thanks for any help
