如何在Delphi中获取网页的源代码？

Question

I'm fetching Web page source with IdHTTP Indy component, but after reading about a problem with it and some questions on this Web site, it seems that it's not always the best choice.

What are your suggestions for fetching Web pages?

Answer 1

Use Indy. Create a TIdHTTP object and call its Get method. It returns the Web page source as a string, or places it in a stream that you provide.

Answer 2

An alternative is calling the WinInet functions, which is doable but a lot of work. If you already use COM/ActiveX objects, you could consider using MSXML2's XmlHttpRequest or the WinInet component: see here for an example http://yoy.be/item.asp?i142

Or if you want to show the web-page on screen, you could use the TWebBrowser component: http://yoy.be/item.asp?i598
