R help - Apr 2014 - operating website through R

Dear Users of R,
I wanted to operate certain slots of this website
(http://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/Giovanni/tovas/TRMM_V7.3B42_daily.2.shtml) through
R. I wanted to operate Latitude, longitude section, plot type, begin and end
year and ASCII Output Resolution. The filling of these slot will produce and
output file with I want to D/L at a certain location in my PC.
I have a matrix of 2 columns and 3000 rows which contain Latitude and Longitude
information which i want to upload automatically in the slots of website. I
tried to use certain web scarping techniques in R but to no use.
Is there a way of doing it in R.
thank you very much in advance,
Eliza

You just need to pass the parameters on Giovanni_cgi.pl with action=ASCII+Output
