Hi--

I am trying to grab a page with the following code:
use LWP::Simple; use LWP::UserAgent; $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new; $browser->default_headers->push_header('User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/4.0 (c +ompatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; iOpus-I-M; GTB6; .NET CLR 2.0.50 +727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; InfoPath.2; .NET +CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)'); $browser->default_headers->push_header('Host' => "brtweb.phila.gov"); $browser->default_headers->push_header('Connection' => "close"); $response = $browser->get('http://brtweb.phila.gov/brt.apps/Search/Sea +rchResults.aspx?id=6546003202'); print $response->content;
Nothing fancy or anything.

But yet when I pull down the page with the above code, the results I get most, but not all, of the same page if I use a browser to do the job. Principally, I am missing 2 chunks that are part of a 3-part tabbed view on the page (in this case, Perl only gets "Account Information", but not the "Account Details" or "Property Valuation" tabs. They never show up from a Perl request. And I do not see another sub-request being made to pull the data down.

I have tried sending every header needed, as shown by a trace from www.rexswain.com (Thanks!) and even that site is able to fetch the entire page.

Any ideas as to what I am not providing/doing wrong here?

Thanks!
