For addresses inside of KoL, providing input on which server to access is not required; KoL Mafia will automatically retrieve the HTML source of the page you provide, for the server you are currently logged onto:
FunctionPage|
<pre>string messages_html = visit_url( "messages.php" );</pre>
name={{#var:name}}|
function_category=String Handling Routines|


function1={{Function|
name={{#var:name}}|

return_type={{#var:return_type}}|
return_also={{#var:return_also}}|
parameter1={{Param|string|page}}|
p1desc={{Pspan|page}} is the page to visit|
}}|


For pages located outside of KoL, the full address must be provided:
function_description=Returns the HTML from the visited page (not just what is displayed when visiting the page, but all markup). Note that for addresses inside of KoL, it is only necessary to supply the page name for {{pspan|page}}, and KoLmafia will populate the rest of the url. However, pages outside of KoL require the full url to be supplied for {{pspan|page}}.|
<pre>string visit_info = visit_url( "http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=Visit_url()" );</pre>


Will return <i><b>all</b></i> of the html. If you see just the words, it will return those, and also all the html code that surrounds it.
