Thanks, but I am looking for the html source.  (inb4 use python, perl, etc, etc instead of Applescript for this). I know I can get it via Safari, but I use Firefox.  Besides, I would prefer not to launch another application just to get this.  Right now, Steve Thompson's "do script curl" looks like the best bet if I can figure out how to get it to work with php requests.
