Read URL data from UNIX without wget,curl,lynx,w3m.
Hi Experts,
Problem statement :
We have an URL for which we need to read the data and get parsed inside the shell scripts.
My Aix has very limited perl utility, i cant install any utility as well.
Precisely, wget,cURL,Lynx,w3m and Lwp cant be used as i got these utilities only when i googled it.
And also i found one solution in Unix.com itself in below thread
37182-url-call-shell-script-6
Since i dont have enough posts am not able to post the complete link sorry for that
but i have given the later part of the title that is , thread name.
and in that cfajohnson has mentioned about some bash scripting and of that only one link is accessible and other one is not accessible( 1st link).
Please dont think am dusting the old one's am really in need of that script. Please help me . Any help would be really appreciated.

wmgrabimage

WMGRABIMGAE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    WMGRABIMGAE(1)

NAME

       WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS

       wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmGrabImage  is	a  WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW.  The image to monitor is
       specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes.  The  update  interval  can	be
       overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).

       Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

       Left Mouse:
	      Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

       Middle Mouse:
	      Sends  a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process
	      if there arent any running.

       Right Mouse:
	      Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display [display]
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -url <Image URL>
	      The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

       -http <URL>
	      The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

       -c     Center the image vertically within the icon.

       -delay <Time>
	      The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

FILES

       The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO

       wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS

       Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a  memory  leak
       -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
