[LV] One of the things I was recently asked was ''Can Tcl be used to get information easily from a web site?'' And while certainly there are [web scraping] techniques, I don't know that I would consider use of these in the '''easily''' category. Anyone aware of any Tcl extensions which work hard behind the scenes to make interacting with web sites easier?
