BBEdit HTML Grabber Extension
Version 1.0, July 10, 1996
by Dan Crevier <mailto:dan@rhino.harvard.edu>
Introduction
This is a BBEdit extension that allows you grab HTML documents from
web (http) servers. It requires BBEdit 3.5 and an internet connection
with MacTCP or OpenTransport. The BBEdit HTML Grabber Extension is freeware.
Usage
Choosing the “Grab HTML…” command from the Internet menu brings up a
dialog that lets you specify the URL of the document you want to get.
This should be a standard HTTP URL, such as:
http://rhino.harvard.edu/dan/home.html
If you hold down option, it will skip the dialog use the current
selection as the URL.
The results are presented in a new window.
Most web servers return a header with each document that specifies
information about the document. If the include headers option is
selected, this information will be included.
The extension is scriptable with the following dictionary:
grab HTML: Retrieves an HTML document from a web server
grab HTML string -- URL to HTML document
[header boolean] -- Return document header? (defaults to false)
Result: string -- HTML text
Acknowledgements
Thanks to Rich Siegel, John Daub, and Eric Scouten.
