    Hi,

    Is it possible to use the xmlrpc library to make regular GET requests? I made an attempt, but it failed to work mainly due to the fact that most pages return a content-length of -1 and not the size of the page (which I believe xml-rpc requires).

    I would rather use a library I already have installed to grab a page rather than adding more code to my project than necessary...should I just install another library?

    thanks!

      Well, with enough hacking anything is possible, but I think you would be better served by using eg, libcurl or wget or something similar.
