My questions:
- Does exist an in-purpose class/method to fetch the URL and get the query back as a string?

well, on Cocoa there is -[NSAttributedString initWithURL:documentAttributes:] and -[NSAttributedString initWithURL:options:documentAttributes:error:] but I don't know if it exists in GNUstep.


Thank you to suggest.

- If not, is a NStask with 'wget' or 'curl' command and reading then the produced tempfile a good approach?

At least this is a good fallback if above fails. You can likely capture stdout of "wget -O -" or"curl -o -" from NSTask to circumvent using a tempfile.

Finally, I chose a fallback with Surf browser (WebKit) from Suckless.org because the requested URL needs to execute Javascript on the client side.
Well, it is working as expected and the service too.


BR,
Nikolaus


Cheers,
Patrick
