A web server developed in HTML. That may be computing history.
and i need to process those data in c but i should not use
any CGIs.
I also need to water my lawn, but I may not use water.

Based on what I've read so far, you need more help than I can give.

:D

It depends really on what you want to do. "Parse" is a dangerously
unspecific word, and its applications can range from the trivial to the
obscure.
How to get the data from the server: well, you might like to play with
sockets, open a connection to the server, then download the html page,
then parse it. These things tend to be slightly more os-specific, but I
can help you along if you need to. I believe, however, that in your
application it may be simpler to use the output of wget.

"Parse": okay, do what you wish. But if you need to do too complicated
things, then maybe C is not the most suited...
no cgi's: by definition, cgi is simply a program. I am guessing that
what you mean is that the program cannot be hosted on that server (?).

My contribution to the comp.lang.php FAQ: ------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How do I retrieve a page from a web site? A: Pass a URL to file() or file_get_contents(). The former returns the contents as an array of lines. The latter returns the same as string. Example: $html = file_get_contents("http://www.cnn.com");

Some sites seem to be session driven in the sense that if I visit the homepage and do a few clicks I can navigate anywhere I want, but if I paste the current location into a new browser window after having navigated to some page, it doesn't work. It just returns to the start page or says "timeout" etc. This means that I can't read these pages from PHP with $string = file_get_contents('http://some.url/blah/deep/link');

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
