querying a script from VB?
Hello all,
I need to write a program that will query a script (using GET) and will then, depending on the result, display some stuff to the user. Is this possible in VB?

Lets say my script is at:
http://mysite/cgi-bin/script.cgi and I want to send it field=value and I want to see the data that it sends back so that my app can devide what to do.

Thanks,
Richard

I can't use the webbrowser control because i need to know the source code of the page that is returned. Is there another way?

Maybe you could try explaining your situation again? I don't understand your response.

I have an app that requires a serial number to be input before the user can use it. When the app recieves the serial number, it sends it to a script using GET, and that script then querys a database to check to see if the serial number is valid. If the number is valid, it returns a 1. If it is invalid, it returns a 0. I need to get this number into the program so the program can decide wether or not to run.

How are you sending data to the script now? The webbrowser control or the Internet Transfer control both can send to and read from a http server. Your script has to return something just as it would to a web browser.

my script reads the GET input (the stuff after the ? in the URL) and then decides wether or not a serial is valid. then then prints a 1 or a 0, depending on wether or not the serial is valid.
