Introduction
From the first Internet enabled application that I created, I found that using httpRequest can sometimes be a pain. If you don't know, httpRequest is a nice little function provided by .NET that you can use to access a HTML webpage. The problem is the native code requires quite a bit of space to implement and lots of extra code to get it working. HTML Helper is basically a way for me to code faster by accepting a structure of data and returning another structure. HTTP Helper has functions for GET, POST, and finding a string in a HTML document.
Requirements
