I'd like to simulate a HTML form's ability to do a http 'get' request - does
the inet control support this kind of thing, or is there some other method
that's used please?

I asked for some help a little while ago and didn't explain what I was after
well enough. What I want to be able to do is use an API to obtain
information about my installed cd / dvd drives. I'd like to be able to get
