How to read a url content
Sorry for bothering but if I don´t ask, I will never have a chance to know.

I want to know what I can use to download a page,
transform it in text and read its content to know when the content changes.

I already know how to read texts and compare them.
But I don´t know how to download it so I could read it.

The page is www.neobux.com/m/v/
This site has no toolbar and I need it too much.
So, as I use nsis for other things for years,
I want to know if I can make kind of warning when page changes, in a specific area.

ReadINIStr can be used to read text files with any extension in INI format

Yes, this I know well.
What I don´t know is how to GET the html file,
how to download this file.
If I know this, the rest is easy.

I can imagine some few ways but they are all very difficult for me,
like opening the site using iexplore.exe and getting it from
temporary internet files but I am not sure of how to do it without
opening many IE windows and how to get the handle to close all the windows.
And it should be silent.
