Hello,

I am using socket methods to make http requests to certain web sites
every hour and I want to alert a user if the web page on another site
changes.  Can anyone tell me an easy way to do this.  One thing I
thought of was to save the http results that the site sends me back in
two separate files and compare the two but I was hoping there is an
easier way.

Thank you.
