[REQUeST] Getting information from a webpage

I need to know how to get information from a webpage. Basically meaning if I wanted to make an online game and wanted to update it without replacing the game I could just edit the webpage, lets say using freewebs or something. I'm pretty sure this is possible (gamemaker never ceases to amaze me) doed anyone know?

Re: [REQUeST] Getting information from a webpage

If you just want to open a page in a browser, use

Code: [Select]

execute_shell("http://www.webpage.com/");
If you want to actually download the data, you'll need a DLL. There are many around in the Extending Gamemaker section at the game maker forums (GMSock for one). Most of them will require FTP access details to the host, but I'm not sure.
