Hello I would like to create a simple means of getting the contents of a web page, in the same way that wget works. What I hoped to do was something like: wget url: 'http://...' show. I found a few classes e.g. Httpurl and also the asUrl method of the string class, but I can't quite work out how to put it all together. As it seems like a simple way to start learning Squeak, I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks AB _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

I can't help you, but Networking might not be the simplest thing to start with :-) _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

you can have a look at the chapter on networking on the blue book
available on my web page: http://www.listic.univ-savoie.fr/~ducasse/FreeBooks.html DRAFTS of Squeak, Open Personal Computing and Multimedia Mirror of http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/squeakbook/.

You can use something like (HTTPClient httpGet: 'www.google.com') contents to get the text of a web page. Just using HTTPClient httpGet: 'www.google.com' gives you a "stream" over the page's text. You can browse HTTPClient's class side to see how the method works and start digging deeper.

Brilliant, that is just what I was looking for. I just hadn't been looking in the right places. Thanks very much. <<You can use something like (HTTPClient httpGet: 'www.google.com') contents to get the text of a web page.
