Hello,
I have been looking for ways to get a page in HTML
from the Web, using an OCaml program, something like
the following Python snippet:
import urllib
URL = "http://www.ibm.com"
url = urllib.urlopen(URL)
html = url.read()
You supply the URL and receive the page in HTML. Is
there anything simple like that in OCaml?
Regards,
Martin

I use the Ocaml binding to the curl library. It has worked well for me
and it can handle high level details like maintaining cookies across
calls (for session continuity and logins):

You could use the Netclient library:
let s = Http_client.Convenience.http_get "http://www.ibm.com" in
output_string stdout s
(Compile with: ocamlfind ocamlc -package netclient -linkpkg file.ml)

And yet another way is to use perl4caml[1] and WWW::Mechanize[2] which
is wrapped by perl4caml. This allows you to fairly easily navigate
websites (click links, push buttons, fill in forms and so on).
