LV: One of the things I was recently asked was Can Tcl be used to get information easily from a web site? And while certainly there are web scraping techniques, I don't know that I would consider use of these in the easily category. Anyone aware of any Tcl extensions which work hard behind the scenes to make interacting with web sites easier?
