Hi RUsers,

Suppose I want to see the data on the website
url <- "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm";

for the index "S&P CNX NIFTY" for
dates "FromDate"="01-11-2010","ToDate"="02-11-2010"

then read the html table from the page using readHTMLtable()

I am using this code
webpage <- postForm(url,.params=list(
                       "FromDate"="01-11-2010",
                       "ToDate"="02-11-2010",
                       "IndexType"="S&P CNX NIFTY",
                       "Indicesdata"="Get Details"),
                 .opts=list(useragent = getOption("HTTPUserAgent")))

But it doesn't give me desired result

Also I was trying to use the function getHTMLFormDescription from the
package RHTMLForms but there we can't use the argument
.opts=list(useragent = getOption("HTTPUserAgent")) which is needed for this
particular website


Thanks and Regards
Sayan Dasgupta
