...he <a> tag is always on it's own line so some kind of line-by-line grep should suffice once I figure out the following: What is the best package/command to use to get the source of a web page. I tried using something like: if(url.exists("http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl")) { h = basicTextGatherer() curlPerform(url = "http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl", writefunction = h$update) # Now read the text that was cumulated during the query response. h$value() } which works except that I get one long streamed html doc without the line breaks.

Hello, I am trying to access Microsoft Live Search Using SOAP through R. In R I am using the RCurl packages to make the calls.

Here's what I tried: FIRST TRY txt <- getURL("http://www.something.com/", verbose=TRUE, header=TRUE) cat(txt) This gives me header AND content. SECOND TRY headers <- basicTextGatherer() txt <- getURL("http://www.something.com/", header=TRUE, trace=TRUE, headerfunction=headers$update) cat(headers$value()) This gives me the header, but the content is also requested and sent to 'txt'. I was looking for a RCurl option like 'head', but only found ...

I am using RCurl's curlPerform command to send an XML string to an HTTP server running on the localhost. The command is something like this: reader <- basicTextGatherer() curlPerform(url="http://127.0.0.1/", httpheader=c('Content-Type' = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"), postfields=toString.XMLNode(xmlRoot(xdoc)), writefunction=reader$update, .opts=curlOptions(noproxy="*")) When sending a short string, the web server responds...
