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.
