[VB6] Check a list of 'passwords'?
 

I was wondering if it would be possible, to have a password set on your VB app (obviously thats possible/easy) what i need is for it to check a list of passwords online (http://www.mysite.com/test/list.php) and see if the password YOU enter matches any of them.. help?

Sure, but I wouldn't call it security. It takes half a moment in a packet sniffer to see where the passwords are being requested from and what passwords are being returned. Alternatively, the password check can be disabled altogether with a little know-how, or perhaps cause the web request to be rerouted to a local source...to be worthwhile the communication between the client and server has to be encrypted and the password list cannot be made available to the client.

The hard part in this case is that there aren't any quick ways to send off an http request in VB6. There's a class in .Net for the purpose. Check online for a free library or break down and use winsock.
