Declaration

void wfc_get_web_page( CUniformResourceLocator& url, CStringArray& page_contents )

Description

This function takes a url and retrieves it from Internet. What you get is an array of CStrings containing the source for that page. This function is meant to provide the capability to pull data from Internet and chew on it inside a program (as opposed to display it to a user).

Example

void print_maryland_weather_report( void )
{
   WFCTRACEINIT( TEXT( "print_maryland_weather_report()" ) );

   CUniformResourceLocator url( TEXT( "http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/md/hourly.html" ) );

   CStringArray weather_report;

   wfc_get_web_page( url, weather_report );

   int index = 0;
   int number_of_lines_in_report = weather_report.GetSize();

   while( index < number_of_lines_in_report )
   {
      _tprintf( TEXT( "%s\n" ), (LPCTSTR) weather_report.GetAt( index ) );
      index++;
   }
}
