You could use it with the Internet Explorer Viewer ActiveX component. Just put the URL in the URL property of the component.

I have tried it, and it did work. However, it did display the source code for the page instead of displaying it like I would see if I were to cut and paste the address into my internet browser. Are you receiving any kind or error message? Are you connected to the Internet and not just your LAN?

Look in the users manual here

[inductiveautomation.com/support/ … ttpget.htm](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_net_httpget.htm)

You wouldnt be able to use your activex for this. The system.net.httpGet will also return the source code for the page, but then you can use python from there. Look at the above link, there are a few examples and some brief descriptions.

Have you looked into the Generic ActiveX component? I haven’t used this myself, so maybe someone that is more familiar with it can speak up.
