Getting data from external site. by leito on 01-22-2006 at 05:28 AM

I wanted to get some data from an external page with my site.

I used CURL but the didn't like it and banned my IP.

I tried with XMLHTTP Object (AJAX) but it doesn't work when getting data from outside of my site. I thought using AJAX the REMOTE ADDRESS will be the one of the visitor and not the one of my site. I just need to post 3 GET's but 2 depend on the first one's result.

Do you have any suggestion?


Another option would be to automatically and server side fill automatically a flash form (something like a browser macro, I guess) Is this possible?

Thanks for your help,

P.D. If you have the solution great, but if you could help me with what topics to read or stuff, that would be cool also.

Maybe you should take the hint and give up then? :p

Or use a proxy... (a)

depends do you need to fetch the data first? , or do you just submit data? .... if you just submit data create a html form then get javascript to submit it for you (into an iframe or something)

:-/ but if you need the data hmm i suspose you could use flash (*shivers*)

It won't be necesarry to fetch the data. There error reporting isn't good at all.

I have to fetch the first response.
