How to read a http using a script

Is there a way to read a http site using a script either perl/python/csh? I knew that ftp is always possible, what about a http site?

thanx

Best way is via Perl and the various www modules. Search CPAN.org for the modules that suites you.

Hi:

Perhaps you're thinking of CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts. Perl is ideal for this. Google "CGI" for more information. Here's one tutorial:

More specifically the LWP Perl Module:
