don't listen to chuck! he's mischievous by nature! get the darn URL and you'll see if it's just some JSON feed or whatever - sounds like it would be.
....or perhaps the feed is in an lost ancient binary machine language based on a six bit encoding you'll have to translate from a partially destroyed stone that matches it to an early non-linear form of EBCIDIC, but that's only if someone actually hexed your project. you'll have to know what you're reading and parse it, I'm sure there are further examples once you know your protocol. I'm sure it's not hard to make an EO to read a simple feed and store it in your database or whatever you need. On Jul 13, 2011, at 1:57 PM, Chuck Hill wrote: > With Calven's luck?
