Hi, I am trying to submit a form to the EXPASY protscale server ( http://www.expasy.ch/tools/protscale.html). I am using the RCurl package and the postForm function available in it. I have extracted the variables for the form from the HTML source page. According to the syntax of postForm, I just need to mention the url and assign values to the input mentioned in the HTML code. The code that I am using is: postForm("http://www.expasy.ch/tools/prot...

Hello. I know that it's usually possible to write cookies to a cookie file by removing the curl handle and doing a gc() call. I can do this with getURL(), but I just can't obtain the same results with postForm(). If I use: curlHandle <- getCurlHandle(cookiefile=FILE, cookiejar=FILE) and then do: getURL(http://example.com/script.cgi, curl=curlHandle) rm(curlHandle) gc() it's OK, the cookie is there. But, if I do (same handle; the parameter is a dummy): postForm(site, .params=list(par="co...

Dear R-Help, I am looking into using the Open Calais web service (http:// sws.clearforest.com/calaisViewer/) for text mining purposes. I would like to use R to post text into one of the forms on their website. In package RCurl, there is a function called postForm(). This sounds like it would do the job. Unfortunately the URL used in the example is no longer valid (i have emailed the maintainer about this). Question: How does one determine the name of the form elements to use? is there an R function which will print out the names of these elements perhaps?...

Hi everybody, I think that I am missing something fundamental in how strings are passed from a postForm() call in R to the curl or libcurl functions underneath. For example, I can do the following using curl from the command line: $ curl -d "Archbishop Huxley" "http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org/text2people" [{"gender":"u","first_name":"",&...

Dear colleagues, Could I get some assistance using postForm() to scrape the business names and addresses at this website: http://www.brantford.ca/business/LocalBusinessCommunity/Pages/BusinessDirectorySearch.aspx I've read through (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/RCurlJSS.pdf) and scoured the web for tutorials, but I can't crack it.

I have been able to collect some ideas and combine them in the code below but I dont get passed the disclaimer page.

According to [1] and [2], using RCurl to post a form with basic authentication is done using the postForm method. I'm trying to post generated interpolation data from R onto an HTTP form.

Hi, Has anyone successfully used RCurl for posting data to a password-protected site? I have tired using option netrc=1 with both postForm and curlPerform (with postfields option) but can't authenticate. I would happily provide more details if some one has had some experience with this. Thanks very much. Valerie

Let's say I have some automation tasks where I have to fill a table field on a webpage, and then submit it to the server, and then obtain the returned value (a typical web query), how to do that in R? Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I am trying to download some tab separated data from the internet. The data is not available directly at the URL that could be known apriori. There is an intermediate form where start and end dates have to be given to get to the required page. For example, I want to download data for a station 03015795. The form for this station is at:

I deal with a huge amount of Biology data stored in different databases. The databases belongig to Bioconductor organization can be accessed through Bioconductor packages. Unluckily some useful data is stored in databases like, for instance, miRDB, miRecords, etc ... which offer just an interactive HTML interface. See for instance http://mirdb.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi,
