Making HTTP Request...?

[heech]

Hi,

 

Any way to make a HTTP request, and keep the response as a variable...?

 

I'm using MacroExpress Pro with Amazon's EC2 service, and on the virtual servers you create, you can make HTTP requests to get certain parameters:

So if you make a HTTP request with:

GET http://169.254.169.254/2008-08-08/user-data

 

You end up with parameters that were passed in the server. This would be extremely useful to me.

 

Thanks.
