wget. Comes from the unix world, a good port to windows exist
Hompage (look here first for win-ports)
        http://sunsite.dk/wget
One windowsport:
        http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html

Otherwise you could use python to grabb the pages (urllib2.py,
actually documented in the library reference!) and chew them with in
one operation.

 I have a couple of own implementations of fetching webpages,
http://flognat.myip.org/hacks/ yah.tgz contains one of them.

Ask me if you want the rest :-)

Script driveable telnet.. Python :-) It has a telnetlib :-) (or you
wanted telnet for fetching pages??)

        /Andy
| 
| webget http://www.foo.com/bar.html > xyzzy.html
| trimcrap xyzzy.html > compact.html
| (then process compact.html with plucker)
| 
| It's the comandline-driven "webget" bit that I'm missing.
| 
| Barring that, is there a script-drivable telnet-like beast out there that
| is small and fast?
| 
| tport 80 www.foo.com "get /bar.html" > xyzzy.html
| 
| ("tport" would connect to the indicated port on the indicated machine 
| transmit an arbitrary command, returning the result as raw text)
| 
| If I haven't made myself clear, or if there is a better way, please mail
| me.  I know this can probably be done in python, but I had a peek at the
| supplied .py files and I have to admit I *ahem* don't quite follow them.
