Well, the embedded firefox is what I was looking for from the
beginning. But the only tool/API I found yet was firebug. And from
what I can see, the plugin I would need (HtmlExport) is not yet
available. And it appears I will not be able to automate the process
anyhow with firebug: it looks like the API is GUI-based, so I'll have
to operate the thing manually, which is not I want actually.

The embedded firefox would look much like what I'm searching for. But
I didn't find how to do it yet... At least I can start looking in CPAN
for a perl module I guess.

And yes you're right, dynamic content can change anytime. But I know
the web site and I known what & when & where to look for the data I
need to extract. I'm just not able at this moment to get the dynamic
content in the html output...
