Well, basic socketing isn't too difficult (reading a website that doesn't require cookies or login information). As mentioned, there are MANY examples in the forum. Just look for socket or sockread in the search (expand to 1 year or more). It may take a bit of effort to see how things work, but if you try, you'll probably figure it out. The more difficult parts come when trying to deal with cookies and logins and posting data and so on.
