you do realize what you are saying, right? you want the user to download their profile page from a foreign server and then *upload* it to your server.
think about that.... then think about the poor dialup user who gets stuck with that. it sounds like you are making a portal style project... if so... keep in mind that the idea behind a portal is to make things *faster* and *more convenient* for the user... not make it an utter nightmare to set up. I believe what you *really* want to do is this: create some kind of proxy on*your* server (using cURL with PHP or something similiar) and then have the user sign in through your proxy using an ajax interface. this might be something you want to look at http://developer.yahoo.com/javascript/howto-proxy.html#phpproxy On Dec 29, 2007 12:10 PM, eat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > TO CLARIFY MY PROBLEM: > I want to create a web page www.w1.com that will let the user to > collect his data from ie: www.linkedin.com (and other sites) and save > this on my www.w1.com page > > restriction: i dont want to access linkedin.com user data via server > but via client side (so that the linkedin.com couldnt ban my server IP > from access) > > the stuff to get: html source code of user profile page on > linkedin.com (will be processed on my server),user images (will be > saved to my server) > > i thought about using ajax and javascript, any idea?
