a request for help, a ready made rebol script for realtime searching obfuscated data in webpages

Hello rebolist, i don't know if any of you have been following the Uk's ISP/Phorm DPI use at the core ISP network level for profit threads ? http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/33628733-virgin-media-phorm-webwise-adverts-updated-page-208.html#post34527568 its just come up that the http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem.htm is so hard to find any related data due to deliberate obfuscated storage and the many readers there and elsewhere cant easily find related data. it seems that a rebol GUI can be made in a few hours to make the net users fighting in this interception for profit battle far easyer. i have a simple request for any rebol writer please. can you put together a realtime searching Rebol GUI to get these obfuscated data in web page links, parse it and display the data in a linked contextual form so as to see the relationships if thats possible?. in this case, we are trying to gather the relationships between the parliamentary members and any 3rd party company's involved in this Phorm (and later NebuAd perhaps) ISP connections and also their PR involvement. perhaps you might even provide a self contained rebol+script_GUI exe to make it easy on the readers that have never even heard of rebol before or how good it is at TCP/IP get/put/parse etc.... if you like you might even pop over there and join the thread if your interested in this Phorm subject! -- Best regards, david mailto:david.may10-ntlworld.com

Hi David, dm> can you put together a realtime searching Rebol GUI to get these dm> obfuscated data in web page links, parse it and display the data dm> in a linked contextual form so as to see the relationships if dm> thats possible?. The more specifics you can provide, the better chance there is of someone being able to help. Breaking things down into small steps is helpful as well. If you can provide a hard spec, that saves a lot of time for someone who otherwise has to read the pages and figure everything out for themselves. That is, if it's just a programming problem--one that I will learn from, will expose me to new ideas and information, and maybe be useful later--I might be able to do something. If I have to spend a day figuring out the domain side, the data relationships, and designing the UI, that's a lot more work. -- Gregg

Hi David, I'm not sure exactly what's going on over there, but if you provide more precise explanation of what's required then you may get some help. ie. break it down into manageable chunks. I advise doing some of what you describe manually, and writing down what each step is, with example inputs and outputs. For example, I have one or two functions for extracting web links, so that might be one of the steps solved already, but it won't be until I see what kind of page, with what kind of links are on it that I will know whether it will work. Regards, and good luck with whatever you're doing. Anton. david may wrote:
