Carlos,
Where I'm most in need of an explanatory example, the Language Reference
fails to provide one. For example, this code works:
Temp2 = HTTPSocket1.Get(Temp1, 30)
but the docs do not seem to indicate that you can do that. All they
mention is something like this:
HTTPSocket1.Get(Temp1, 30)
(How did I know that I HTTPSocket.Get could be used as a Function in
addition to being used as a Method? Only because someone on this
mailing list mentioned it.)
HTTPSocket.Get and HTTPSocket.GetHeaders sound like they might be
parallel, but I found that the following does NOT work:
Temp2 = HTTPSocket1.Get(Temp1, 30)
I get the error message that RB is expecting a string rather than an
InternetHeader, but I know nothing about the workings of an InternetHeader.
I think that you're right that the URL is redirecting to a different
page, but without more guidance I can't figure out how to use
PageReceived, HTTPStatus, etc. to get what I need to know (and if I did
get it, I'm not sure what to do with it.)
I think I ran into something like this when I had a directory rather
than a file for a URL (or was it when I put and when I didn't put a
slash after a directory name?), but that problem was easily fixed by
modifying the URL. I can't do that here. Any more details on what I
can and should do?

I seem to get the HTML for a different page altogether.
(It's certainly not what I get if I go to that URL and "View
Source" with a regular Web browser.)
Anyone have any idea what's happening here? How can I get
HTTPSocket to show me the source code (i.e., put the source code
into a string) for that URL?
I'm probably doing something stupid, but I can't figure out what.
I presume that URL is redirecting to a different page. On the
HTTPSocket check (on PageReceived) the httpStatus code to see if you
get a 302 or 301 redirect code - if yes, then check the headers for
the new URL location.
