Question: Been trying to figure out a way to pass in the variable into a `HTTPGet` function for long time now. How to do it? Here's what I have so far, but it doesn't return anything.

```
<p id="date" style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#446c5a; font-style:italic; font-size:16px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:0;">%%xtmonth%% %%xtday%%, %%xtyear%%</p>

%%[Var @curdate, @url

SET @curdate = Format(Now(), "MMddyyyy")
SET @url = Concat("http://theurltograbdatafrom.com/index.php?d=", @curdate)

HTTPGet(@url)
]%%

<p>%%=v(@url)=%%</p>

```

Have also tried the following:

```
<p id="date" style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#446c5a; font-style:italic; font-size:16px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:0;">%%xtmonth%% %%xtday%%, %%xtyear%%</p>

%%[Var @curdate, @url
SET @curdate = Format(Now(), "MMddyyyy")
SET @url = Concat("http://theurltograbdatafrom.com/index.php?d=", @curdate)
httpget; @url ]%%

<p>%%=v(@url)=%%</p>

```

Both examples return absolutely nothing! However the return value in `<p>%%=v(@url)=%%</p>` returns the proper URL, but how to use this url in either of these ways??

I am putting this code in a `Content Area` and than calling it from within an email that has that content retrieved into it.

Answer: 
Here ya go for everyone needing to know this. Here's how it is done:

```
<p id="date" style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#446c5a; font-style:italic; font-size:16px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:0;">%%xtmonth%% %%xtday%%, %%xtyear%%</p>

%%[Var @curdate, @url
SET @curdate = Format(Now(), "MMddyyyy")
SET @url = Concat("http://theurltograbdatafrom.com/index.php?d=", @curdate) ]%%

%%=HTTPGet(v(@url))=%%

```

Many Thanks go to drakored for the syntax help on this!
Adding to this answer. If you want to track links from the html you are pulling in, you will need to use a wrap function as well, as so:

```
%%[
set @var1 = "http://someurl.com"

var @getStatus, @content, @content2
set @content = HttpGET(treatascontent(@var1), false, 2, @getStatus)

set @content2 = Replace(treatascontentarea('TEST',@content),'http','httpgetwrap|http')

]%%

%%=TreatAsContent(@content2)=%%

```
