Re: How to use telnet to brows web page within VMS











From: "r33300@xxxxxxxxx" <r33300@xxxxxxxxx>

We have a regular job running to get some information for internet,
then we download that web page and extract the data from that download
file. Current the job we executed in two steps.

1. Use a web browser to download the web page and save into a pc disk
2. Upload the web page into VMS box the extract the data.

I tried use $ telnet /port=80 www.webpage.com/ and use GET method try
to get the file, the file displayed on my screen, my question here is
how can I capture the information into an file so I can extract the
data from?

I use Wget ("http://antinode.org/dec/sw/wget.html";). Of course, I
may be biased. I don't use it, but for a single file, cURL should also
be suitable. (There appear to be many simple (one-step) methods
available, any of which would be more fun than the ones you've found up
to now.)

If you have complaints about Wget, let me know.

Wget 1.10.2 VMS-Ready Kit
VMS port notes (as included in the complete kit, below). This
document describes the changes required to build Wget 1.10.2 on VMS,
and some enhancements which are applicable to other operating
systems. (For example, the standard Wget code does not handle a VMS
FTP server well.)


/ftp/wget/wget-1_10_2b_vms/vms_notes.txt
Complete kit, including:
Source (original and modified).
Alpha objects and executable (built on VMS V7.3-2 with HP C
V7.1-015 and TCPIP V5.4 - ECO 5).
IA64 objects and executable (built on VMS V8.2-1 with HP C
S7.1-013 and TCPIP V5.5).
VAX objects and executable (built on VMS V7.3 with Compaq C
V6.4-005 and TCPIP V5.1).


Note that support for extended file names on ODS5 file systems
depends on fairly recent C RTL features, as found in VMS V7.3-2 or
VMS V7.3-1 with VMS731_ACRTL V3.0.

The Zip archive for this kit was created using the Zip "-V" option to
preserve the VMS file attributes, but the source files in this Zip
archive should be usable on a non-VMS system. The VMS port notes
mentioned above (and included in the kit) describe how to restore the
original mixed-case and/or multi-dot file names in the kit which have
been altered to accomodate the more limited VMS ODS2 file system
where this work was done.
<UNQUOTE


Does this work with/ is this available with/ Multinet?
