Hi Gregory,

Can you link me to a sample comic so I can look at the javascript
and write a regex for it? I'm sure it's possible to parse the JS as
easily as the tables from most other comics. I've started using the
code I initially wrote for RSSX for just about all the screen
scraping functionality I need.
You can add a referer header to the xmlhttp request, after ".open",
before ".send". It'll look kinda like this:
xmlhttpObj.setRequestHeader("referer","http://somepage";);
The other alternative, though this is only effective for normal
searches, is to use a named target window and send two requests to
it, the first as the page you need as referer, the second as the
ultimate target. This doesn't work with xmlhttp though. :(
For anyone wanting to try this functionality out (and it's been a
long-requested feature) please get the latest defer_tools.js from
CVS.

Shawn K. Hall
