Hi. I hope this is the right place for my questions, i'm very new to www-lib as to HTTP protocol, and since some time ago i want to make an application for linux like coopernic for windows, if you have not seen it it's a program that receives some keywords about a topic and consults many server like altavista, yahoo, infoseek, netscape search engine, and more and returns to you all the results in a single html formatted page, i want to do this in linux, first i wanted to do my own implementation of HTTP in C++ but i realized it's not that simple but when i found out about libwww i decided to use for all the HTTP and HTML stuff (of course my program will be FREE under GNU license), i still getting inside how libwww works but my question now is, how could i determine "dinamically" the arguments for the CGI program in the server, i.e. suppose my program first gets the index.html from the search server x, how could it in run time determine how to send the request to the server, i.e. how to determine the full string http://www.x.uvx/cgi-bin/query-X¶m1=value1¶m2=value2&...¶mN=valueN does libwww so it ?? How ?? if not the how could i do ??? is there a better way to do it that downloading always index.html from servers ??? (for example coopernic stores some information in local files but these have no text format so i can't know what it stores in them :( ) Thanks !!!!!
