I am not from the US so that probably provides some safety.

Anyways, I think using the builtin OS support should be OK.
Afterall, the OS only supports it then legal...? It would be
very hard to punish for using builtin functionality in Windows
when it comes to such a basic thing as webcrawling :-)

Then agin, IANAL, sometimes laws are crazy... :-(


When I get time I will still research if WinInet can be used.
I have managed to do this somewhat (wrapping atop on Indy
and then switch if https), but it would be nicer if I could use Indy.
(Would be nice to have redirects, headers etc. in same code)


best regards
Thomas
