Introduction
From the first Internet enabled
application that I created, I found that using
httpRequest can sometimes be a pain. If you
don't know, httpRequest is a nice little function
provided by .NET that you can use to access a HTML
webpage. The problem is the native code
requires quite a bit of space to implement and lots
of extra code to get it working. HTML Helper
is basically a way for me to code faster by
accepting a structure of data and returning another
structure. HTTP Helper has functions for GET,
POST, and finding a string in a HTML document.
Requirements
Restrictions
- None but I hope to add
more functionality eventually.
