I probably put it wrong. I need to crawl data that's behind forms, and what I've been doing until now in Java is to submit the forms, get the results-page, and download the individual pages. But my home-made Java app is getting unmanageable now, and I want to integrate Gecko in a C+ + app (C++ being my fave) to do all the form-submit, crawling and data extraction part. If I can set up the environment to get me just one page, I'll build on that.
