Thanks Jeff, I wrote an ftp_get/put as well, but it uses standard AIX programs and works very well. I've used sftp in the past and if that comes up, I'm prepared. It's just that I'm new to the HTTP retrieval world. Just getting it to work at all was exciting for me... Do you know if curl works

Never mind about the AIX question. I installed the Linux Applications CD for AUX and curl is on it. Now for some good, old fashioned elbow grease. This is the exciting part of my job. Karl quote who=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Jeff, I wrote an ftp_get/put as well, but it uses standard AIX

Okay, I've re-written the application that retrieves product data so it now uses curl, but I'm stumped on the password section. The way the vendor site is written, it doesn't require a password to get search results. If our salesmen are logged in, they get: Retail Price: 2.02 Your Price: 1.21

Not a trivial subject. You should probably contact the site owner and inquire as to what URL encoded string their login program wants to see as a beginning point. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, I've re-written the application that retrieves product data so it now uses curl, but I'm stumped on

The application checks to see if the user has access to the web page. If the user does not it should go to a login page to prompt for username and password. To by pass this, you may be able to call the login page, feed username and password and then call the page you require. Regards David

Thanks Tony. I've subscribed to lists and have used OSS (open source software) since about 1991. There is one thing about this situation and using cURL. I'm on AIX and the Linux Applications are specifically remastered for use on AIX. Frankly, I don't think the vigilance is as necessary as I'm

Karl, Yes, and it does not actually cost you anything (open source), but it is another 3rd party product. I had a similar problem some years ago. For password handling, which can end up being a cookie issue, I used curl - http://curl.haxx.se/. Cheers, David Murray .learn and do .excel and
