Hi All,

I need to intercept (catch) a html page that is downloaded by any other application.
Any other application could be a known browser or an embedded browser in an any application.
Lets say that page URL is also known. I need to have the copy of that page in my program that I will write. Hopefully.
Please don't think that downloading the page directly with my own program is not an option. That is not what I need. Packet sniffing also looks very complicated. Any one has any suggestion where to start?

Language will be c#, off course.

Thanks in advance to all willing to help.

Almost sounds like you want to write a proxy server.

Take a look at this open source project:
http://trotinet.sourceforge.net/

That should help to give you a starting point.

Catch where, in what application?

Before (means while downloading) or after, the other application downloads the page that I am interesting, I need to read that page, lets say, in to a string variable or in a file first with my c# application. Then I will parse the html source to get some data in it.
