Gambas (specifically gb.net.curl) uses libcurl.

If the document you want to parse is XHTML, you could try using gb.xml.  
Unfortunately, that seems to be undocumented right now.  

If it's a legacy HTML document, libxml does have an HTML parser available, 
but it seems that gb.xml doesn't expose that functionality at present so 
you'd need to use external function declarations to use it.
