Thank Ben,
This works wonderfully, thanks!
BTW: the policy my library publishes regarding JCR implies that this
falls under acceptable use, as long as the data is for personal use, so
that's fine.
I'll need to read up on RCurl a little further, as this seems a powerful
package, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Dear list,
I would like to download all the webpages of the Journal Citations
Report (science edition), for a given year. I can do so manually, but
that it very time intensive, so I would like to use R for that.
I have tried many things, including:
download.file(url =
"http://admin-apps.webofknowledge.com/JCR/JCR?RQ=SELECT_ALL&cursor=21";,
destfile = "test.htm", method = "internal")
which would get the page starting with journal number 21.
However, test.htm only includes the message:
>>>
You need to review the RCurl package and look for "cookies", which
will allow you (once you have established a session in a browser) to
copy the cookies (tokens which allow you access) into your R session.
However, you will probably be violating the terms of service of JCR.
You should talk to your librarian about this. When I wanted to do
a similar project I worked out a system where I generated the URLs
automatically and got a student assistant to (efficiently) go to the
URLs and paste the results into output files.
