Hi to all members of this group,

how can i download a webpage using R (html), which is generated using
javasript when trying to open that webpage in the browser?
When i try to save the page as text file i get only some java code inside,
not the actual data.
When opening website in the browser and saving the page in txt file
everything works fine, so seems like i need to emulate browser request
inside R code.

Thanks
