RE: Problem downloading a page

[Jack Yang]

Dear all:

I wonder whether I can use perl script to simulate the press button action in a java 
applet.  Here is what is happening now

1)Every night, I will Launch IE and enter the company download page

2) I then Press the button located inside a Java Applet

3) I then Click Save to save the file.

Since there are 30 files that should be downloaded in this manner, I wonder whether I 
can use perl script to automate this process.

Many thanks

 

Jack

Re: Problem downloading a page

Hi,

I've seen that is stranger than I thought.

Yes I also tried with HTTP in all caps, and I have also seen that I need to
specify the entire URI, not only the directory name, something like:

GET http://www.symantec.com/ HTTP/1.0

...but the strange part is that this command works, but only if I use Telnet
under Linux.
If I try to use the Telnet client under Windows 2000, it disconnects from
the server after the first character of this command (G).
The same Windows Telnet can access other sites without problems however and
I don't know what could be the problem for not working.

Thanks.

  GET / http/1.0

 HTTP must be in all caps.

Hi all,

I have seen that I cannot download some pages, like www.symantec.com using
LWP.

In fact I have also tried:

telnet www.symantec.com 80
GET ...

I've just had a quick test using lwp-download and it seems to work fine
downloading http://www.symantec.com/index.html

C:\Perl\binlwp-download.bat http://www.symantec.com/index.html
29.2 KB received

I'm not surprised that you can't telnet http://www.symantec.com.  I'm sure
most site won't support telnet unless it's your ISP.

Re: Problem downloading a page

Ok, I have tried again, and now I've seen that my program can download that
page, but I still don't know why I cannot telnet to that page.

I have tried:

telnet www.symantec.com 80

This should try to connect on port 80, so the web server should respond, not
the telnet server on that host.
But after trying to manually type:

GET / http/1.0

...in order to display the main page, it disconnects after pressing the
first char (G).

Do you have any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks.
