Subject: postForm() in RCurl and library RHTMLForms
Hi RUsers,
Suppose I want to see the data on the website
url <- "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
for the index "S&P CNX NIFTY" for
dates "FromDate"="01-11-2010","ToDate"="02-11-2010"
then read the html table from the page using readHTMLtable()
I am using this code
webpage <- postForm(url,.params=list(
"FromDate"="01-11-2010",
"ToDate"="02-11-2010",
"IndexType"="S&P CNX NIFTY",
"Indicesdata"="Get Details"),
.opts=list(useragent = getOption("HTTPUserAgent")))
But it doesn't give me desired result
Also I was trying to use the function getHTMLFormDescription from the
package RHTMLForms but there we can't use the argument
.opts=list(useragent = getOption("HTTPUserAgent")) which is needed for this
particular website
