I strongly recommend that you get the palm web applications written by ben combee et al.
other wise here is the code that you will need in order to capture a web site hope this helps colleen #define SERVER_URL "http://www.palm.com/webbrowser/"; static Err CacheURL() { MemHandle inetHan, inetSockH; Char *responsePtr; UInt32 value=0; INetURLInfoType inetinfo; UInt16 AppINetRefnum=0,cfgIndex; UInt32 totalBytes, bytesRead, reqestedBytes=0, offset = 0; UInt32 downloadSize = MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE; UInt32 algorithm = ctpConvNone; /* no conversion */ DmSearchStateType searchState; UInt16 cardNo; LocalID dbID; Err error; DmOpenRef localRef; INetConfigNameType cfgName = { inetCfgNameCTPDefault }; error = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true,&searchState, sysFileTApplication,sysFileCClipper, true, &cardNo, &dbID); if (error) { return error; } localRef = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(sysFileTApplication,sysFileCClipper, dmModeWrite); if (!localRef) return DmGetLastErr(); /* allocate memory to hold the file retrieved */ responsePtr = MemPtrNew(MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE); if (error) return false; /* choose whether to use wireline connection or wireless */ error = INetLibConfigIndexFromName(AppINetRefnum, &cfgName, &cfgIndex); if (error) return false; /* open the library */ error = INetLibOpen(AppINetRefnum, cfgIndex, 0,localRef , reqestedBytes, &inetHan); if (error) return false; /* Set the default settings for buffer size and conversion * algorithm to be used */ error = INetLibSettingSet(AppINetRefnum, inetHan, inetSettingMaxRspSize, (UInt8*)&downloadSize, sizeof(downloadSize)); if (error) return false; error = INetLibSettingSet(AppINetRefnum, inetHan, inetSettingConvAlgorithm, (UInt8*)&algorithm, sizeof(algorithm)); if (error) return false; error = INetLibSettingSet(AppINetRefnum, inetHan, inetSettingCacheSize, (UInt8*)&algorithm, sizeof(algorithm)); if (error) return false; /* start the fetch of URL.

Is it possible to connect to internet through palm which can be earlier than m505 ? if so how ? I need to connect to internet and just get the html page in string format. it is not intended to display the page to the user. how to do and what are the requirements for this ? pls help ! can any body provide a little source code demonstrating this ? thanks in advance. by yogaramanan -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
