Hi,
Did u check with the adminstrator of intrade.com to access their site.? Basically, if they are allowing external sites to read their contents, then they must have a specific url which will serve other needs. Better u can post the request to them, so that it's easy for you to proceed.

Thanks for all the help. I found the basic info with just the url, but I think www:mechanize will get me to the level I'm hoping to get to. Thanks to everybody!
