Hi all.

I'm developing a service application with C++ using BDS 2006. This
service supposed to query WEB pages (HTTP or HTTPS) with everything in
them including images, applets, objects (swf, etc.). In addition I want
to be able to get cookies and post data. I'm trying to create an
application which tests WEB servers performance. Thus, I Want to be
able to measure query times of the whole page and each element
individually.

I don't want to use TWebBrowser because of;
1- My application is a Windows Service. There is no user interface and
TWebBrowser must be visible to browse an URL.
2- TWebBrowser uses IE settings. If script debugging is enabled, it
shows dialog box to user and I don't want to change or force user to
change options.
3- If caching is disabled, it does not cache HTML page but it caches
images and other elements.


Is there any component for this purpose?
Can I use IHTMLDocument2 interface to load pages without using
TWebBrowser?

I could use TIdHTTP but I have a doubt about it. I don't want to parse
pages, and handle frames, cookies, SSL pages, etc.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
