R-Help, I'm trying to obtain some data from a webpage which masks the URL from the user, so an explicit URL will not work. For example, when one navigates to the web page the URL looks something like: http://137.113.141.205/rpt34s.php?flags=1 (changed for privacy, but i'm not sure you could access it anyways since it's internal to the agency I work for). The site has three drop-down menus for "Site", "Month," and "Year". When a combination is selected of these, the resulting URL is always http://137.113.141.205/rpt34s (nothing changes, except "flags=1" is dropped, so what I need to be able to do is write something that will navigate to the original URL, then select some combination of "Site", "Month", and "Year," and then submit the query to the site to navigate to the page with the data. Is this a capability that R has as a language? Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with html or php programming, so if this question belongs in a forum on that I apologize. I'm trying to centralize all of my code for my analysis in R!
