Input - getURL

 

Description

Connects to a web site and copies the contents of the URL to a local file without interpretation.

 

Configuration Variables

URLsToFetch
The URL(s) to copy. Multiple URLs should be specified in the startup file separated by a space. Example:

(sourceSpec "http://www.site1.com/something1.html" "http://www.site2.com/something2.html")

authUser

The user name presented to web server for accessing protected resources.

authPassword

The password use to authenticate to the user above.

 

Product

If there is only one URL then a simple product is returned. If there are more than one then a Vector product is returned with each URL as a child.

 

How it works

Multiple URLs are fetched one at a time. For faster fetching it may be better to create multiple instances of getURL all attached to the same Juggler.
