[PD] how to do a http request from pd to a webserver and get the results

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

You could use one of the language externals, like Python or Ruby. Then 
you'd also have access to google libraries etc.

Or perhaps.... you could do something with [netreceive]. If you set up 
port 80 to be forwarded to it or something like that. I'm not too 
familiar with network stuff, so I can't be of more help.

Or.... maybe.... you could use something that writes to a textfile, 
which you can then access with anyone of a number of textfile reader 
externals. The textfile would be like a data pipe or buffer or whatever 
they call it.

Just a few ideas.
