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.
