GrabURL

Short:        Utilities to fetch HTTP files. (07/01/98)
Author:       greyl@videotron.ca (Serge Emond)
Uploader:     greyl videotron ca (Serge Emond)
Type:         comm/www
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Requires at least OS 3.0, rexxdossupport.library V2 and AmiTCP 4.0+.
Rexxdossupport can be found on AmiNet (util/rexx/rexxdossupport.lha)

This archive contains executables for 68000.

Contains 4 things:
1) GrabHTTP.   Can grab files using the HTTP protocol.  (ARexx host)
2) UrlManager. Keep a list of urls.  (ARexx host)
3) ScanHTML.   Scans an HTML file and creates a list of the urls
               contained in it.
4) GrabURL.rexx.

The last one uses the 3 others to grab one or more files using HTTP.

It can collect files recursively using AmigaDOS patterns and has a lot of
options.

GrabHTTP also has a small GUI indicating the progress of the download.

This is freeware.  It works without crashing on my system.

* Note:

This version is **much** more stable for the Amiga than the "ported" unix
version (2.0).  It also offers much more features.  I suggest using this
instead of the port.  Since the only reason I turned my Amiga on the last
month was about graburl, I doubt I will ever really make a 2.0 version with
more features.  The only modifications that may arise are small ones to
make those programs work with the constantly varying HTTP/HTML protocols,
as long as they remain SMALL.

You might want to check GrabURL's page, which doesn't contain much:
