Hi. Boss gave me a very simple task, but it's not something I've had to
do before.
Basically there is this scripted page on the Internet, where the visitor
enters some date-time conditions, and the page spits back out a list of
links to scientific datafiles that have been automatically generated on
the server. All the data-time information is passed to the script as
simple GET data.
So I need to make a simple script that accesses the page (using the
correct GET data) and downloads all files listed on the page which match a
certain pattern. Kindergarten stuff for you guys I'm sure. Could someone
point me in the direction of a helpful module for the
accessing/downloading
part?
