Maybe I have missed it, sorry if I did, but I am trying to figure out how to read URL data beyond 2048 bytes.

Can anyone help me this? How do I read the next 2048 and the next until I completed reading the full page?

You can't without support built-in to the server side of things (though it is always possible to have a proxy server that'll fetch the URL you want indirectly and do the windowing for you). Include a GET or POST parameter that tells the server where you'd like to start reading the results, and have the server application drop everything before that.

if you're looking for a result set that's <=2048 bytes, but not neccessarily within the first 2048 you can pass the request off to google search, and look for the exact section, in the page you want...

this is the trick used for profile camping.. it searches for a key phrase (like the title of the pick) on the users web profile page, through google, and then google returns the results starting at about that point (so they can be verified to be in the list)
