Web Page --> variable. How?

I know that you can open a webpage up in a browser from DC++, but is there a way to read a webpage into a variable? If it comes in with all the html tags included, that's fine. I have played with creating HttpConnection variable types, but I can't figure out how to get it OUT of there and into a variable so it can be manipulated, parsed, displayed, etc.

the short answer would be:

get your own HttpConnection object,
yourHttpConnection->addListener your own HttpConnectionListener subclass object
call yourHttpConnection->downloadFile,
and then wait for data to arrive in YourListenerObject::onAction(HttpConnectionListener::Types type, HttpConnection* /*conn*/, const BYTE* buf, int len)
(see lines 1423-1432 in MainFrm.cpp)

Someone posted a IP grabber patch... some time in the past. Ugh, gee, that's helpful, but it would be a good thing to look at... if you're not trying to do the same thing.

Code: Select all

C:\...src\windows\HubFrame.cpp(335): error C2664: 'Speaker<class HttpConnectionListener>::addListener' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'HubFrame *const ' to 'HttpConnectionListener *'

HttpConnectionListener subclass object

I don't know what you edited, but you might want to add "private HttpConnectionListener" to the list of HubFrame's superclasses

That did the trick! Works like a charm, thanks Sedulus
