Both Post and Get will result in that you get an answer from the server. The differense of these 2 is what you send to the server.
The reason that Post exist is that you get more possibility to send more data in the request. If you want to uppload a file to a webserver, then you use Post. If you just want to get a file on a given location, you use Get. Create a stream and assign to RcvdStream of the httpclient. Assign http://192.168.0.26/temper.xml to the URL property. Call GetAsync. In OnRequestDone, read the content of RcvdStream and put into your memo (be sure to set the position of the stream at the beginning).
