Tricky bit is the "secure" part since connecting to a secure site and
maintaining credentials take a lot more effort. Normally you can just
use commands like curl or wget to pull down html from a site but if it's
a secure site you'll have to do more commands to get authenticated and
then pass your assigned authentication token back to the site in future
requests. Some sites change that token with each page request so you get
a new token every time you do something. Even then, the page itself
might just be a skeleton and the actual grade data might be injected
into the page after it loads using JavaScript. It's all possible to do
but non-trivial.

Whoops I made a mistake. I was just trying to figure out what app would be
best to go up to a secure web site grab the grades and like you said bring them
down and put them in a csv file.

Never heard of Grade. Is this a Mac or Linux app? The Unix side of OSX is quite
capable of automating things through scripts. If the grades package you want to
use will export into a CSV (comma separated values) file you should be able to
import that into Numbers.

Hello there,
I decided to install Mac ports for better capabilities for what I need. I am
wanting to download grade off a https web site. I want to use Mac Ports rather
than Apple script or maybe both if needed to put my grades in to a numbers
spread sheet. How would you suggest I do this?
