Can Rev as CGI pull an URL's HTML into a variable?

[rgould8 at aol.com]

Thanks so much for your help!  That liburl stack seems to be doing the 
trick - - - - except for one thing:

When I run the below script as a CGI, I get, maybe 90% of the html 
back, but it hangs at the end for some reason.  Is there a 
character-limit to how much text libURL can retrieve at once?



#!revolution

on startup

  start using stack "liburl_1.1.5_minus.rev"

  put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr & cr
  put "parameter   = " & urlDecode($QUERY_STRING)

  put $QUERY_STRING into searchstring

  put "http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=" & searchstring into searchURL
  put URL searchURL into databack
  put "databack = " & databack

  -- you'll never see this, because it's never done.
  put "done!"
end startup
