Can Rebol find + download php-generated dynamic webpages??
« on: December 13, 2007, 01:33:03 AM »

I have been reading about Rebol, and have a question.  I have a C++ code that can spider and download sites from the internet, but it fails to get asp/php-generated dynamic webpages.  Also fails to get links from javascript-gnerated pages, like:  http://www.linsner.com/gallery_view.cfm
Would a program written in Rebol be able find and download such links?  (And could the Rebol app be written as a command-line app, or .dll, or some other way to make it easy to use with a program from another code language?  Thanks for any clarification.....

Hi Leaf:
I'm a long-time web programmer - used to code in C/C++ but
in 2000 I switched to rebol and python.
IMHO, reading dynamically produced web pages, regardless of
the source and regardless of the source of reading application
present the same issues - which would have to do with the completeness
of the query.
Do cookies have to be set?  Are authenications needed? etc....

But the power of rebol is the builtin functions like load/markup that
allow you to easily follow links and read web pages.
I recommend you check out the following:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=site-check.r
and then let us know what you think.

Furthermore, rebol code is far, far more productive than C++, and
noticeable more productive than python - from my experience, but
of course neither rebol or python have the performance potential
of C ....
HTH
