Hello; this is my first post here, so sorry for any newbiness... * Where/how can I get the full documentation for libwww in one printable document? I don't specially like killing trees, but this would be good for a coupe of cab rides and plane flights... * Is there anything akin to a tutorial? I have read some of the documentation/samples, but libwww looks pretty intimidating... * I'm interested in the following problem: given a URL and a specification of a piece off it, retrieve that piece. For example: URL: http://www.foobar.com/ Piece: body:second table:fourth row:second colum:first href This would get me an (hypothetical) string with the href pointed to by that element within the page. Are there any "standard" tools to do this? Is there a standard "language" so specify the portion of the document that one is interested in? Does libwww provide support for such a thing? * I understand libwww can talk HTTP, FTP and NNTP. How about other protocols? It would be great to be able to do, say, POP3, IMAP, maybe SMTP, etc. Thanks for any info, -- Gonzalo A. Diethelm gonzalo.diethelm@sonda.com
