I am trying to write a script which will allow me to read the contents of an
HTTP web page into memory, parse the data, and output a calculated value.
The HTTP page is on a web enable appliance - I am reading some data out of a
table for further calculation. I can't modify the web appliance, only read
the text data.
I've written a script on my Windoze PC that successful uses a MSXML2 ActiveX
object to read the contents of a web page into memory using the
xmlhttp.responseText object. The problem is that the ActiveX object is not
available on a lightweight Linux based http server.
I need to write a script that will work with ASP/Javascript on a lightweight
Linux based http server.
Anybody have any recommendations?
