Spam Filter Rules: HTTPGet

The HTTPGet statement requires a url, headers variable name and content variable name, in the format

HTTPGet <url> <headers variable name> <content variable name>

• The first line of the headers variable will contain the HTTP result code, if present
• If VPOP3 cannot connect to the web server or cannot resolve the name of the website, the headers may be empty
• Only http:// connections are supported - for https:// connections, use WinHTTPGet
• HTTPGet is only suitable for retrieving text web pages
• VPOP3 has more control over HTTPGet than it does over WinHTTPGet

The following example will retrieve the webpage "http://www.pscs.co.uk", return the HTTP headers into the ${hdrs} variable and return the content into the ${content} variable

HTTPGet "http://www.pscs.co.uk" hdrs content
