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.
