[Zope] grabbing external content

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 10:24:00 -0500

Someone sent this type thing a while back but can't remember who.

Create an external method and put this into it:

def getPage(url):
    import urllib
    return urllib.urlopen(url).read()

The just call it like:
<dtml-var "getPage('http://www.yahoo.com/weather')">

Works like a champ for us!

Try the product KebasData, it does all that and even more... Can't remember
the exact URL, but a find on www.zope.org will tell you.

Cheers,

is there any functionality like

<dtml-var grab="http://www.yahoo.com/weather">

which loads the content of www.yahoo.com/weather without installing External

methods? I thought that I saw such a product some time ago.
