Something better than www/urlget ?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I've been using urlget for quite some time (to retrieve financial info from 
finance.yahoo.com) and it has worked reasonably well.  However, some changes on 
the source site have resulted in less-than-acceptable behavior!

Aside from the fact that urlget won't follow redirects (something to which I 
can manually adapt), the source site is now using javascript to present the 
required info.  And I've searched high and low for any alternative sources, 
without success.

So, I'm wondering if there's anything out there that can help me to retrieve 
the necessary data.

If anyone cares, the specific data I'm interested in is the Trailing and 
Forward Annual Dividend Rate data shown on the "Statistics" page for a 
particular stock.  A typical URL would be

	http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/key-statistics

Thanks in advance for any clues, pointers, suggestions, etc.
