Hi,

( I searched the archives, this hasn't come up before and the question is
at the bottom- sorry for the long intro. I posted this on cygwin because
I run my scripts on cygwin and cygwin illustrates the relationship
between
graphiically oriented things like windoze and information oriented
systems
like linux. )

I don't know what got you here, but don't be surprised if you get tons
of hippos responding to your mail. This list is not for technical
questions. But if you want to have fun, you may want to lurk.
See threads http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00313.html and
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00312.html if you're still
curious about that "what".
Mike, FWIW I thought about answering this and decided I didn't have
enough to offer, but Carlo's observations essentially match my own; this
sort of thing can sometimes be done on a site-by-site basis, but that's
usually the best you get. I have not, however, talked to anyone about
more automation-friendly access. (Honestly, I have not dealt with
government sites and some of the ones I have played with probably
wouldn't be very happy about auto-grabbing :-) ...especially the ones
that run ads; not that WebWasher doesn't kill those anyway.)
