Hi Roland, No, and Yes.
No it is not part of the .NET Framework, just the standard Win32. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winhttp/htt p/what_s_new_in_winhttp_5_1.asp But yes, WinHttpRequest is the equivalent (more or less) of <@URL>. Someone is probably using a custom built crawler on your website. Under the .NET Framework there are several ways to do an <@URL> operation. One of which is a base Class named HttpWebRequest, which is similar in spelling but not the same thing. Hope that helps. ~ Scott Cadillac ~ 403-254-5002 ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Custom Software for Business http://custom.softwarefor.net ~ The XML-Extranet Partnership ~ P.O.
