Hi All,
This is a puzzle I have been working on for about two years.
Yes, and you've asked lots of questions on the curl mailing list and,
it seems, not read (or not understood) what you've been told.
There are a lot of great guys on that list. They never were able to
figure that one out for me. I posted back to that
list yesterday with what Fulko and Gordon taught me.
Fulko and Gordon are extremely smart guys.
Problem is that the revision is generated by a java script.
No it isn't (as someone else here has explained).
Also there is no Java involved. The Java programming language
has nothing at all to do with the different programming language
named Javascript.
I am not sure where you are coming from. I state (Brendan
Eich 's) "java script" in the Subject line and all over
the place. I no where stated or implied that it was
Java the programming Language. I wish they had called
them two different names.
And JSON is an extension of Java Script. The "JS" stands
for "Java Script"
The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259
I was guessing that it was Java Script. I was not the
exact Java Script I was looking for, but it was Java Script.
My mistake was thinking I needed to "push the button".
Have you seen the YUGE page of data file that JSON script
points to. Yikes. Love regex!
And curl and wget have no way of running java scripts.
No, but as people on the curl list have explained before, you can
fetch pages and parse out the relevant details and work out what
to fetch next.
Not until Fulko and Gordon did I know what to look for.
The guys on the curl group were not as explicit as Fulko
and Gordon. I did what the mensches on the curl list told
me to do and dug around a lot, but could not make
heads or tails out of the page. They did not tell me
exactly what to look for.
Thank you for the comments,
-T
p.s. Brendan Eich seems to be doing wonderfully well
over at Brave. Very nice code.
