Having a bit of fun with indy
Basically I want to write an app that visits a few differnet web pages and
then downloads the source of the page to a text file.
I have tried indy and have not had much success, same with TccpWebBrowser
Dioes anyone either have a sample of source for the above or a suggestion of
an alternate VCL package - pref free as this is just a fun bit of coding

When i call the connect method I get an 11004 exception, this same bit of
code worked in an older version of indy
TCP->Host = "www.google.com";
TCP->Port = 80;
TCP->Connect();

this:
TCP->Host = "www.google.com";
To this instead:
TCP->Host = "www.google.com";
With that said, you should be using the TIdHTTP component instead of the
TIdTCPClient component directly. Then you can do this:
AnsiString PageSource = HTTP->Get("www.google.com");
Or this:
TFileStream *PageSource = new TFileStream("c:\\some
folder\\somefile.html");
HTTP->Get("www.google.com", PageSource);
delete PageSource;
use it.
