There are several way to achieve your goal. The two main I see are: 1) Write a LSP (Layered Service Provider) 2) Write a proxy server The first is not possible with Delphi (At least I think so. If anyone know how to write a LSP using Delphi, I would love to get the code). The second - writing a proxy - is more or less easy with Delphi using ICS components. See "usermade" link at ICS website (http://www.overbyte.be). With this option, you have to configure IE to use the proxy: IE Menu / Tools / Internet options / Connections / Network parameters / Use a proxy and then enter the IP address (127.0.0.1 if proxy run on the same computer) and port number (pick anyone you like, for example 8080). Once IE is configured to use a proxy, it will send all requests to the proxy. Then the proxy will make the real request to the target server and return data back to IE. What is important there is that you get all URL entered in IE or indirectly use (clicking on links), and you can either really rely them to the target server or forge and answer your self to say the page access is denied. At ICS website, on the usermade page, you'll even find a HTTP proxy component. If you need help with this component and/or the entire ICS, please use ICS support mailing list (same server as this list). See "support" link at ICS website for support details.
