Re: Perl, LWP and youtube

What exactly are you downloading? Just the HTML page?

Do you change any links in the downloaded page (like Javascript URLs)? Do you have internet access while viewing the page?

Do you have javascript enabled (for file://, if you are using the noscript-extension of firefox), and do you have an up-to-date flash player?

BTW if you want to download the videos, not just HTML, I can recommend clive. If you want to know how it's done, look at their source code - it's open source ;-)

Hi, I want to download the url and process it further. I have javascript & up-to date flash player on my browser. The problem is that I am using lwp to get the page. And youtube probably checks and finds that i do not have flash installed. I think i have to set some headers right in lwp to get it working but I do not know how to. Please guide me to a solution. Thank you very much, Anant	[reply]
