I was looking a automatic checking for topic updates on this forum by get-url and regex for folder-new.gif as there are only 2 if no new topics so
(length (parse (get-url "http://www.alh.net/newlisp/phpbb/index.php") "folder_new.gif"))
is 3.
However, to be logged in to see if there are new posts since my last vist/check I guess I have to send and receive cookie type info - I've looked around a bit and will look some more but hoped someone may have a quick answer on how to do cookies with newlisp?
I see the httpd server example says:
; handles cgi but no cookies

Look into the distribution file: modules/cgi.lsp for the routines: CGI:get-cookie and CGI:set-cookie. The program newlisp-blog-33.tgz make extensive use of these. In the file index.cgi grep for the same routines to see how they are used.
You also can use the newLISP function (post-url ...) to automate the dialog with www.alh.net when filling out forms.
