I just tried your script and it seems to work. I commented out the USERAGENT
and HTTPHEADER lines and it brings the data fine. exactly as in the page. Now
when it gets output to my browser it gets shown as western charset, I would
just need to send a header to say its utf-8. Dont remember the exact syntax
for sending headers. you might need to look it up.
