How to get HTML from a relative URL? WebRequest, WebResponse won't work in my case

I am in need to find a way to get the HTML from an internal URL.
For example: I have page : default.aspx?pa ge=Test, I need to get HTML of
that page after rendering.

At first thought, I would use WebRequest to make a requestion, then use
WebResponse to get the HTML. However, it won't work in my situation.
The resaon for that is:
WebRequestion needs a URI, which is in the format of
http://<MyDomainName >/deafult.aspx?pa ge=Test ...
In my particular situation, the web server does not recogonize MyDomainName
(an external domain name), so if I put:
Dim req As WebRequest =
WebRequest.Crea te("http://MyDomainName/Default.aspx?pa ge=Test") , error will
occur.

Is there any way to achieve what WebRequest and WebResponse can achieve, but
requires a relative URL?
Thanks

Can't you use localhost or an IP address?

I have an ASPX report and I want to capture the rendered HTML and write to a file on the webserver. Several posts suggest using WebRequest to make a second call to the page, and screen-scrape the resulting HTML. The technique typically described is: '-- Get the current URL and request page Dim url As String = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)

Hi I was wondering if it's possible to use the WebRequest class to access a file on windows shared folder with authentication? If yes, what would the syntax be? I've tried to look this up in the references available but to no avail Also, is it safer (better practise) in an LAN environment to use HTTP requests to access shared files (via ASP.NET) rather than UNC file shares TIA Regards John

I am working on a WebRequest accessing the US Postal Service WebTools test API. This service uses a DLL file (ShippingAPITest.dll) with a query string which includes XML. The web service accepts the query string with no url encoding. I must pass the <> characters as they are in the query string. If these characters are url encoded the service rejects the request. This API Url is http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll

OK I logon to a web site and I manage to get an SMSESSION cookie that I then store in a variable called _session (a class scoping variable). I do this by calling a logon URL and setting a cookie to SMCHALLANGE=YES to allow me to obtain a session. I then iterate the cookie collection to extract the SMSESSION value. All is good (so far). This is when the sky turns grey and the rain starts to fall. I then use this SMSESSION in a web...

I know that WebRequest.GetResponse can throw WebException from internet tutorials.
