Hi Andy,
I would like to create a simple means of getting the contents of a
web page, in the same way that wget works. What I hoped to do was
something like:
wget url: 'http://...' show.
I found a few classes e.g. Httpurl and also the asUrl method of the
string class, but I can't quite work out how to put it all
together. As it seems like a simple way to start learning Squeak,
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction.
You can use something like
(HTTPClient httpGet: 'www.google.com') contents
to get the text of a web page. Just using
HTTPClient httpGet: 'www.google.com'
gives you a "stream" over the page's text.
You can browse HTTPClient's class side to see how the method works
and start digging deeper.
Hope this helps,
Benjamin Schroeder
