Getting a URL form a "logged in" site

[Jim Ault]

Thanks for the notes:
I use altBrowser to see the web page as well as download the html.
Viewing is essential for the project, interactive links, as well as
simultaneously parsing the html for the data within its structure to pass to
a database.

There is no XML feed available (nor likely to be) but agreed, that would be
much cleaner for me.  Cookies so far are not an issue.  The next site on my
list may be a different story.

My thought with AltBrowser was that it would handle certain cache/cookie
operations, etc automatically, just as the browser would.  Of course,  Chipp
Walters &Chris Bohnert are the ones to ask about the details.

Thanks :-)
