    Website capture

    Purpose: Capture a web page listing for a current browser session. The web page will be from an https site, and this site does require a login. Therefore, the site cannot simply be referenced by using a direct URL. Example: when a user is in gmail, pushing a button either on the browser or on a second application would capture everything on the page. The file (html, bmp, or jpg) would then be uploaded to a specified location on the local machine. At this point the file will need to be uploaded to a central server through the internet (probably using a web service).

    Limitations (cover as many as possible):

    1. Must work with IE 5+ and Firefox 1.5+.
    2. Seamless integration with asp .net web application (hopefully no full installation).
    3. Usage of DOM for extraction?
    4. Has to capture everything contained in the web page. The page must be read from top to bottom and anything contained in frames or divs must also be captured exactly as they appear on the page.

    Please submit with sample and/or full code for application. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Purpose is about why you do something not how you do it. I believe that we need to understand why you want to extract data from someones secure site...
