Thanks for that suggestion Gabriel. It's really a great idea to see what's going on behind the scene but it still doesn't work even though the post made by my function has the same data as a real browser post. here's the HTTP Header from my sniffer: ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.newportrealty.com/Search/Default.aspx?Area=WC POST /Search/Default.aspx?Area=WC HTTP/1.1 Host: www.newportrealty.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://www.newportrealty.com/Search/Default.aspx?Area=WC Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDQQBTTDAT=JMBNNNNBNNJELLBBNCCDMNCK; ASP.NET_SessionId=hzdjizvca2zid3f205s5kd45 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 4649 __EVENTTARGET=dg_Result%3A_ctl1%3A_ctl1&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__VIEWSTATE=dDw0MD(...)
