Aloha everybody -
I'm attempting to issue an http request through lynx to save an XML file to
a local server.
Here's the code:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Newsdump.pl
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
#!/usr/bin/perl
system("lynx -dump http://www.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?feed=239&o=xml >
news.xml");
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
1. When I do: "bash$ perl newsdump.pl" I get a zero length news.xml
2. When I do: "bash$ perl newsdump.pl > news.xml" I get a news.xml that is a
numbered list of the news links which is not XML.
3. When I run http://www.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?feed=239&o=xml in a web
browser, I get the XML document.
I need to have the ability to call this script to automatically retrieve and
save the new file. Please help.
