---

In ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of the harvest. This code sample demonstrates how to harvest the headers and html code of a web site via VB6.

The code presented here shows how to download the header information and html code from a web site, and save that data to text file. In this code, the following items are demonstrates:

• Controls:
  • Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 for retrieving web site data
  • Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 for use of system save dialog
• API:
  • ShellExecute API to open the default browser when a link is clicked
• General:
  • Responding to events with actions
  • string concatenation
  • writing to a text file

While this bit of code is meant to be a demonstration for beginners, it can also be expanded on, potentially becoming a full-on web crawler.
