Thanks. It looks like the basic building blocks are there - but I don't know enough about how a proxy works to be able to make one (if I can avoid it). All I really need to do is to be able to hook into the date stream, tagging on one specific URL which I can then parse to get the data into my python program. Unfortunately, I can't access the URL directly (cookies, etc.). Or have i misunderstood twisted.web.proxy? The only docs I found were at http://twistedmatrix.com/users/jh/teud/Twisted/twisted.web.proxy.html Andy -----Original Message----- From: Itamar Shtull-Trauring <twisted@itamarst.org> To: twisted-python@twistedmatrix.com <twisted-python@twistedmatrix.com> Cc: mongo57a@comcast.net <mongo57a@comcast.net> Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [Twisted-Python] Fw: [Tutor] Interfacing to the web

It was suggested in Tutor that Twisted might be what I'm looking for (please see the thread below). The best bet appears to be a proxy to which I can add some intercept logic. Anybody done this with Twisted?

You could make a transparent proxy with Twisted, yes, since it has both http client and server classes. There's a module twisted.web.proxy that does that.

Might not work without some munging of the returned HTML, however.
