Hi,

        Another thing I tried unsuccessful : put the result of the request in
a file instead printing on the screen. I tried first with -O as the
server give a name to this file constructed with its data. But it did
not match and I got hundreds of lines "comma separated values". It
seems that the server send an answer in an html file and appends a file
with it.
Here is the trace log from lynx :

Here are the two files ?

That 's the data I would like to get in a file :
>

Is it possible to do that with cURL ?

TIA
