Getting content from external URL

[cmelnick]

How do I capture content from an external web site with ASP? For example, www.myurl.com/testURL.asp will enter a URL to some other page (like http://forums.webdeveloper.com), request and receive the document. If there is a 404 error, it will display an error message for that link. If there is valid content, then it will do something else (redirect or whatever.)

The only part I need help with is the connecting and downloading content, not the redirect, or parsing the content for valid data vs. a 404 error.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
