How do you grap a captcha using Httpwebrequest? Is that even possible?

[simpleonline12]

Was wondering how you can dowload a captcha into a picture box using the httpwebrequest method?

I have my bot up and running and I can download captcha's off the site and into a picture fine using the web browser control but damn that's so slow so I am going to try registering accounts using httpwebrequest instead.

Can Httpwebrequest download images like captcha's or will it HAVE to be done using a web browser control?

Was thinking about creating a plug-in for a decaptcha service but I'm a cheap skate so for now I will be solving them manually until I have my OCR class built.

But any ideas on the method for downloading a captcha to a picture box on a form?

Thanks

usually you would download the page with one request, then make a second request to the path on that page for the captcha image
