Hello Folks,

I am trying to develop a web-browser Application, where corporate users.

The idea is simple:

1. visit a site i.e. www.mydomain.com/webbrowser.asp
2. enter on the form a website to go to
3. server connects to site
4. User sees site via this tool
  !! Users own local browser must have
   no direct URL contact
   >> Local IE: www.mydomain.com/webbrowser.asp?nice.jpg
   >> Remote : www.home.net/tx/nice.jpg

  The application must retrieve the html or pictures and then pass them on to the local browser.
5. User logs onto remote site via the displayed remote online form.
6. User accesses all remote content via the our webserver acting as middlesman.




HERE THE QUESTION:

So thats what I have in mind. But how to get this going?

I have a Win2000 Webserver, IIS5, ISAPI, MSSQL 2000, ASP and IE 6 as available resources.

Is it possible to build such a web-application with "web-tool"?

Kind regards

Christian

Essentially what you are doing is writing a proxy server with limitations.

If you have ASP.NET capabilities you could do this using the VB without even using a third-party component. You would merely check the request on Page_Load and deceide what to do.

If you don't have ASP.NET I would recommend getting our WebServer tool (not the Web tool) and writing your own WebServer for your clients to connect to and make request. Then use our Web tool to get real page to return to the client.

You should be able to figure out what to do from looking at the sample apps that come with the tools
