"RE: VFP8: Screen Scrape"
I'd forgotten I wrote that <s~>
and it raises a couple of interesting points about screen scraping:
the code worked when I wrote it, but doesn't now - for two reasons:
the target site has changed slightly
amongst other things this means you end up at a 'redirected default'
page - one of the ms security patches (I think) results in http post
commands being rejected by such pages. Try this:
cURL = "http://www.hawthornecottage.com/andy/"; && your url here
oHttp = createobject("Microsoft.XmlHttp")
oHttp.Open("POST", cURL, .F.) && Synchronous
? oHttp.Send("")
gcc= oHttp.ResponseText
n1= AT([NAME="Graphic2"],gcc) && you do
n2=AT('ALT=',SUBSTR(gcc,n1)) && a lot of
n3=AT('" ', SUBSTR(gcc,n1+n2)) && this stuff
?ALLTRIM(SUBSTR(gcc, n1+n2+3, n3-2)) && when screen scraping
ohttp.abort
ohttp=null
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
RELEASE ALL
Now try the same thing but using "http://andy.hawthornecottage.com"; *which
goes to the same page*
- it fails and you get a 405 error
Andy -- I get a 405 error with both examples...neither works for me. ???
