Custom Proxy Server (Watch for HTML) 1

[BrianAtWork]

I've searched around for this for a while, and I'm not sure I'm using the right "buzzwords", so I thought I'd post one myself:

I want to write a VB.NET program to run as a proxy server, so I can point Internet Explorer's proxy port to the port defined in my program. Then, as I surf the web, my VB.NET program would watch for certain content in the traffic that passes through it, and perform an action.

Does that make sense? Basically I want to hook into my web browsing and save text to a file if the text matches a certain criteria. This would save me the trouble of selecting the text, copying, and pasting into a text file.

I'm not looking for someone to do this, I just need a start, or someone to head me in the right direction. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I don't have a clue on where to even start.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Brian

There's a C# example here that should give you some ideas...

Thank you so much! In looking through that code, it gives me some good ideas. I've never done C# before, C++, but no C#. Maybe now is the time for me to learn

I really appreciate your help - this is a great first step!

Thanks!
