[Tutor] Writing a web bot.

[Gorman, John]

Not knowing all the details of what you are wanting to do, may
I suggest that you check out wget and nc.

These tools are really neat. They can display or download files
and web pages, follow links.

Even if it is not want you want, I bet you can get some good ideas
from them.

|Hi all.
|
|It appears I have found myself in a position
|where I could use some help.
|
|The task I am trying to perform is write an
|internet bot.  I was going to use urllib for
|this project however one of the requirements
|is for the connection to be continuous during
|the session.  
|
|Connect to a site.
|Get page, parse.
|Get another page, parse.
|use POST method, get another page, parse.
|Disconnect from the site.
|
|The connection is not supposed to be dropped
|between the requests.
|
|Is there a simple way to do this task???
|
|thanks.
