Subject: Finance::Quote::UserAgent in need of upgrade to work with Java "encrypted" sites.
It seems the technologies has moved on, and more effort has been done to to scramble HTML sites contents with Java scripted call procedures (what is the point?). LWP::UserAgent->request->content is not enough to receive clear data: no chances to retrieve URL $YAHOO_CURRENCY_URL. so I was thinking of UserAgent ways like: ...WWW::Scripter->use_plugin('JavaScript');... compiling the result with yet another interpreter! what would be the best Perl/Java method to overcome this?
