I tried adding a sign out step, but it had no effect. On the other hand, if I leave out the log in step, then everything after that just responds with the sign in screen, so clea rly I am not signed in. I cannot exactly reproduce the headers that my browser sends. WGET respon ds on its own to the redirection headers sent by the host. Something in there is confusing the host. If I turn on -- debug, I can see two redirects before I get the screen that says I am alr eady signed in. I also get several cookies sent. They are encoded, alas. In any case, if I ignore the message the next two WGET steps work fine so I am logged in, even if the host thinks I logged in twice. The harder part is breaking up the ETR list (with no tools on my PC) and converting the HTML that I get back to plain text. It's irritating that the real data is plain text, but I can only access a n HTMLized version of it. One language I do have on both the PC and Mac is JavaScript. But I don't know any way to execute my own piece of JavaScript against a web page -- I've only seen JavaScrip t code downloaded between <SCRIPT> and </SCRIPT> tags inside the HTML page. Another possibility is to get WEBROVER working on CMS with HTTPS. Then I could use H2S to remove the HTML.
