[racket] HTML Code/Web Authentication

[Alexandre Nicolaï]

HelloI am looking to develop a small program whose purpose is automated extraction HTML code of a web page and then analyze the data, but I am a beginner and I do not understand how to implement this extraction with Racket. Another problem is mandatory authentication to access the page in question.
Thanks,
Alex

For the first half of the question, see

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/part_4.html#%28part._sub~3areading-xml%29

from the book for absolute novices. It explains how to design a simple stock ticker by reading (X)HTML off the web.

The book emphasizes systematic design. You can solve this specific problem with brute force regular-expression matching with few lines of code. The question is whether you want to learn to solve problems or copy code from mailing lists and StackOveflow w/o understanding what's really going on.
