I've got a locally hosted site that I would like to deliver signals to via http text. I know I can use WinAPI to read files locally but is there a way to read text via http,ftp,etc?
- Problems with WinAPI
- Read/Write of Files outside of Experts Directory?
- Use Comment Text with EA

except winAPI you make your own dll in c or delphi or what you prefer and call the http from the dll.
the dll you can call from your EA after.

Yes there is.
I've done that many times utilising WinInet.

Thanks, this seems to be the right answer to this one. There is a bunch of code developed to utilize wininet.dll already. I've downloaded a couple of scripts and will modify them to do what I want. Building a custom dll is unnecessary when resources are already available.
