Can anyone help with a generic RR script to download a web page.
It should include ability to include httpheaders information and to post
information.
The following script has worked on about 80% of web sites but it appears
some sites require me to post info or wants to set cookies, be a big
browser,etc. which goes beyond my scripting abilities.
on mouseup
put word 1 of fld "symbol" into sym --Stock symbol
put char 1 of sym into b
put "http://user:psswrd@biz.yahoo.com/n/"&b&"/"&sym&".html" into myurl
put url myurl into dataVar
put HTMLtoTXT (dataVar) into dataVar --HTMLtoTXT is external Func.
put cleanUpTXT (dataVar) into fld "data" --clean up & put into fld
end mouseup
Thanks in advance for any help.
