I am writing a VB.net program to screen scrape a web page to obtain
data.. actually its to grab tv guide data so I can reformat it into
XML
The source is at
http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/
I can write a simple program to obtain this page as a string for
parsing using
sockHTTP.Connect(EPhost)
sockHTTP.Send(abyteGet, abyteGet.Length, 0)
and
Do While iBytes > 0
iBytes = sockHTTP.Receive(abyteReceive,
abyteReceive.Length, 0)
s &= asciiGet.GetString(abyteReceive, 0, iBytes)
Loop
But the site uses cookies, how can I obtain a cookie, keep it, and
more importantly when doing th enext send or post utilise that
cookie!?
Any code examples of screen scraping (or other) using cookies to keep
the session open would be appreciated!
Ideally I would like to run it from a DOS prompt, or have it is a
model windows app showing a status bar etc...
Thanks In Advance
