Version 0 of Using Tcl to write WWW client side applications

Updated 2001-01-17 19:58:39

Purpose: Discuss the various ways Tcl can be used to write WWW client side applications.


Tcl can be used to write 'agent' software - that walks WWW pages, scrapes info from the HTML, and the reformats it for display. I know there was a WebTechnique article on this - anyone have pointers?

Tcl can be used to write WWW browsers - see Browsex [L1 ] for the latest effort.

Tcl comes with an http library, which allows you to write tools to read data rather easily. You do have to find an HTML parsing library. Someone I hope will provide some pointers here to good places to find such things.
