Does anybody have a code snippet that will
download HTML pages? Or their headers?

Do you mean an HTTP download?
An FTP upload/download library is already available. You
can find it at http://www27.pair.com/daber/architek --> download
section. The file is EuFTP. It's a simple (very simple) FTP client,
the include file (ftp.e) contains the FTP functions.
All the FTP functions are implemented on WININET.DLL (comes
with Explorer 3.0+ and Win98, maybe somewhere else too?).
This DLL also has support for GOPHER and HTTP.
If you're on a hurry you can go the Microsoft's Workshop page and
look for wininet documentation. The whole API is documented there.
Use ftp.e as your starting point of how to code the Euphoria
interface.
NOTICE: Common Windows API interface mistake: Almost all API
functions end with 'A' or 'EX', they stand for 'Ansi' and 'Extended'.
If you can't link a function, i.e. MyAPIFunc, try MyAPIFuncA and the like.
If you have time, you can wait till I got spare time to do the thing for
you. Don't ask when... somewhere between now and Microsoft's
bankrupt ;)

Yes, I have a WEB site with more than a thousand links
arranged into various categories. I wanted to write a
utility that would check each URL and then update
my database with the return code from the header.
I would use this to cull dead links from the lists.
I have been trying to use various other folks packages to
do it, but they either cost more than I can afford or they
do ALMOST what I need.
My first examination of Wininet left me thinking it would
work for the whole HTML document, but not for the Header
only. I was hoping I could just go for headers to cut
down on wasted bandwidth and time.
HTTP download is what I need.

I forgot to post the URL to MS Workshop is:
http://www.microsoft.com/workshop
The direct link to the Wininet API reference is at:
[OFF TOPIC]
Does anyone has experience with JDBC or accesing Databases with CGI?

Maybe I am going blind in my grumpy old age. I
went to the suggested site and could not find
EuFTP in the download section. Do you know
where else it might be posted?

Oops! Mea Culpa :)
Ok. In the mean time you can go to RDS's site --> The Archive
--> Win32 File --> File Transfer Protcol (by me!)
