Answer 1

With HtmlAgilityPack...
Private Sub ToolStripButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click
Dim doc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument = New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument
With New Net.WebClient
doc.LoadHtml(.DownloadString("https://example.com"))
.Dispose()
End With
Debug.Print(doc.DocumentNode.Name)
PrintChildNodes(doc.DocumentNode)
Debug.Print(doc.DocumentNode.Element("html").Element("body").InnerText)
End Sub
Sub PrintChildNodes(Node As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode, Optional Indent As Integer = 1)
For Each Child As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode In Node.ChildNodes
Debug.Print("{0}{1}", String.Empty.PadLeft(Indent, vbTab), Child.Name)
PrintChildNodes(Child, Indent + 1)
Next
End Sub

In this question HTTP GET in VB.NET
Try
Dim fr As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
Dim targetURI As New Uri("http://whatever.you.want.to.get/file.html")
fr = DirectCast(HttpWebRequest.Create(targetURI), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
If (fr.GetResponse().ContentLength > 0) Then
Dim str As New System.IO.StreamReader(fr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
Response.Write(str.ReadToEnd())
str.Close();
End If
Catch ex As System.Net.WebException
'Error in accessing the resource, handle it
End Try
You will get Html as well as http headers. Don't think this will work by itself with https.
