hello everybody.

i want to create an appliction that will work in the background , when the brwoser wants to reach a specific url and download a html page from the server it will sent a request to the appliction , then the appliction will connect to the server and download the html page and pass the page to the browser (the application won't parse the html code) .
in simplier words the appliction is like the outside world for the browser something like a local proxy server .
does anyone have an idea of how to do it - you can send me links to the msdn or links to articels or totrials .
i have another small question , there is a certain chat that i'm using , usually
the window of the chat is minimized in the task bar , when someone apply to me in the chat the window start to blink in the task bar , the problem is that i'm not always looking at the screen and i would like it to make a beep sound besides only blinking.
the chat application is a part of a the browser window .
it's improtant to emphasize that we're talking on something that is connected to the window itself and not to the chat application , the window pickup the change in the chat application and then starts to blink .
does anyone have a solution , somehting like a special browser or a change in the registry settings or a simple VB application .

thans , roni.

Hey, ronias, how about NO? This sounds like a spyware application, and i REALLY don't like where this seems to be going...

Lets look at what you want:

1. A program to log all of the URLs a person visits, by taking a necessary part of the browser and making your own program to do it...
2. Am i correct in saying that you wish to make a browser window automatically play sounds? (although very easy with JS..) Please correct me, and tell me i'm wrong..

Simple, write a proxy server. Just readup the RFCs on the HTTP protocol, have the winsock API handy and you're away.

I have a super application I'm thinking of. I'm sure it's special, and I call it the wheel. The problem is I don't know how to chisel square corners off a round rock. This is due day after tomorrow. (I admit, somewhat embarrasedly, that the task was given to me last year, but I had a couple other things to do.) Will someone fix this for me, and is there a link to where I might get a free copy of Chisel++?

LOL - Well there's more than one type of wheel out there.
Perhaps Microsoft® Wheel® v2.0 incorporating support for Active Directory and DRM copy protection. Also comes in a Student Edition™, formally known as Microsoft® Oval®. And some strange people use apple shaped ones. There's always room for improvement. :p

Dammit, you've been indulging in commercial espionage, I think. I was going to do my wheel with a PHP chisel, and call it "Pear."
