Building HTTP components using ASP

Building HTTP Components
Do-it-yourself, with plenty of clothing, here's how to build your own asphttp components.
Using the Winsock control, the following describes how to build a simple HTTP component.
Remember to select the Mswinsck.ocx control first
The following code is compiled in VB6.
The code is as follows:
Private WithEvents Objwinsock as Mswinsocklib.winsock
Private strURL as String
Private Struri as String
Private Strserver as String
Private Nport as Long
Private Strhead as String
Private Strdata as String
Private bconnected as Boolean
Public Function HttpGet (URL As String) as String
Set Objwinsock = New Mswinsocklib.winsock
strURL = URL
parseURL
Connect
SendRequest
Objwinsock.close
Strhead = Left (strdata, InStr (strdata, VbCrLf & VbCrLf))
Strdata = Right (Strdata, Len (strdata)-InStr (Strdata, VbCrLf & VbCrLf))
HttpGet = Strdata
End Function
Private Sub parseURL ()
If LCase (Left (strURL, 7)) = "http://" Then
If InStr (8, strURL, "/") = 0 Then
Strserver = Right (strURL, Len (strURL)-7)
Struri = "/"
Else
strserver = Mid (strURL, 8, INSTR (8, strURL, "/")-8)
Struri = Right (strURL, Len (strURL)-INSTR (8, strURL, "/") + 1)
End If
If InStr (strserver, ":") <> 0 Then
