HTTPWebRequest isn't nearly as solid, fast, stable, or flexible as the sockets namespace, but it is light years better than the web browser control.-edit-i have some fairly detailed posts on the difference between the three of these and some very good links to help get you started. just search for other posts by me.</blockquote>
