Re: grabbing html source

[scmason]

Dorward is aboslutely right. However, if the user is willing to give you their friends email address you could just generate an email that says something like:

Hello Friend

Dorward wants you to see this page at SomeSite.com.
Visit htt://someurl.com/that/you/gen to view the page.

Sincerely

SomeName

Like Dorward's solution, this is a win-win situation, because you also get the 'visit' to your page which helps with stats,

I'd go for this solution also because of the following reasons:

1. No need to download page from your own server
2. Way more friendly for the recipient:
   1. Smaller email
   2. User might not have a client that can handle HTML

And if the URLs are terribly long, you might even throw it through one of the WWW::Shorten modules.
