I am in need to find a way to get the HTML from an internal URL.
For example: I have page : default.aspx?page=Test, I need to get HTML of
that page after rendering.

At first thought, I would use WebRequest to make a requestion, then use
WebResponse to get the HTML. However, it won't work in my situation.
The resaon for that is:
WebRequestion needs a URI, which is in the format of
http://<MyDomainName>/deafult.aspx?page=Test ...
In my particular situation, the web server does not recogonize MyDomainName
(an external domain name), so if I put:
Dim req As WebRequest =
WebRequest.Create("http://MyDomainName/Default.aspx?page=Test") , error will
occur.

Is there any way to achieve what WebRequest and WebResponse can achieve, but
requires a relative URL?
Thanks

Can't you use localhost or an IP address?
