Please Help, Retrive data from the web.

Hosting: Windows 2003 Server, Asp3.0 , Asp.Net supported.

I use asp cdosys for visitors to email me a form containing the message
they type, + their ip address.

I need to verify for statistic, where is that ip address located in.



I do the following procedure that works fine, but i would like to automate it.

1) I goto the following address http://www.ripe.net/db/whois/whois.html
Is a pubblic whois service, for european region ip addresses

2) I type the ipaddress in "searchtext" textbox

3) i press "search" button ( that is called "do_search" )

4) i check the row that contain the value Country : XX
( XX may be "US" or "UK" or whatever )



I would like to automate the procedure and receive in the email
not only the ip address but also the two letters for the
corrisponding country


P.S. : PLEASE don't propose/suggest me, any commercial product or service.



Also I was wondering how to have in a web page something like


Cities Temperatures :
"London " & London_Temperature
"Madrid " & Madrid_Temperature
"Rome " & Rome_Temperature

Of course i want updated data to display, with page load temperature
to be checked somewhere in the web, and passed in the web page,
possibly with ASP or ASP.Net , but i don't known how to do that.



Any Help Appreciated.


Best Regards.

Robert.
