Hey gang,
I'm using xmlhttp inside local web pages (vbscript inside an html page) to consolidate a lot of web searching. I grab "data" from three or four sites w/out any problem, and put all the "data" into a series of pages for easy coffeebreak reading.
One site shows data fine if I go directly to it w/ a browser window, but if I use xmlhttp it tells me that the exact same thing I was just looking at is not available.
I have tried several ways around this, and now I would like to set a referrer when I call using xmlhttp to see if THAT makes a difference. I've been over the xmlhttp documents multiple times and can't get it figured out.
I have seen two examples, but neither have worked for me:
xobj.setRequestHeader "Referer", RefMurl
xObj.Referrer = RefMurl
"Referer" has also been replaced w/ "Referrer" and "http_referrer", etc. -- as the only instruction was that it was supposed to match "standard" environment variable values... None that I can think of seem to work.
Alternately, if anyone can give me other ideas on how these folks are bypassing my GETs, I'd appreciate the insight.
BG:
I want to get "data" from several of the pages on this site:
As an example, here is the main (outer) frame for a page that I would like to get "Data" from:
I've been to the main frame, the sub-frame, and I've tried pulling the data directly from a calculated url:
If you go to that link, you'll see a "Sorry, currently unavailable" disclaimer. (If you DO get a return, it's probably 'cuz you visited the main page and have the "data" in cache... try ctrl-reloading it or mod the URL for the previous day's date.)
Can anyone help me?
