Description


Book Description
The Internet is bigger and better than what a mere browser allows. Webbots,
Spiders, and Screen Scrapers is for developers and business managers
looking to unlock the competitive advantages of nontraditional online
approaches. The book first outlines the deficiencies of browsers, and then
explains how these deficiencies can be exploited in the design and
deployment of task-specific webbots. Readers will learn how to write
stealthy webbots that read email, emulate online forms, auto-authenticate,
manage cookies, and handle encryption. Sample projects reinforce these new
skills so that readers can create more sophisticated webbots and spiders to
track online prices, create anonymous browsing environments, bid on
auctions in their closing moments, and more.
