Hi!

Hi,
I have several Urls, each giving me a piece of information. I want to write some code that gathers these pieces of information and make a display of the whole situation.
The principle is: I send a request to one URL then parse the result and make a new request to another URL using the parsed result.
I need some code that somehow mimic a human behaviour: it should 1) go to a URL and get the content (easy part) 2) go to a URL and retrieve some session ID then make a more elaborated request (POST, GET, or even trigger some Javascript)
I have written such a "robot" for a customer, and I need to update it in the coming days, I will see if I can publish the reusable part of it.
regards, Gran
I am very interested in this. Go Gran!
In my case I wish to start with some numbers parsed from the first url, use each of them to create a search at a second pre-known url, then operate on the results of the search to perhaps figure out if there is a pdf download link available.
Thx, Ken G. Brown
