Very nice and appreciated.
Can you suggest some options for the other end? I want to
communicate with my Christmas present which is a Tektronix 3000
series oscilloscope that talks HTTP. Going through a browser to
create a request in the format of the required POST method is a pain
and terribly mouse intensive.
Is there any way to persuade AppleScript to send out raw IP over
Ethernet so as to emulate the response of a browser to entering an
HTML form?
http://192.168.1.17?command=ch1on&command=saveto1&command=getwave1
is almost what I want but it has to be POSTed rather than GETed. I
also need to receive and save the resulting waveform of 20 k bytes or
so.
Is there a browser which is sufficiently scriptable for the task? I
don't think URLAccess will be sympathetic.
