PHP has some neat support for retrieving html over the 'net. Just open it like a regular file. This doesn't work for SSL pages (https://) until version 4.3 (which isn't yet released). Is there any hack to get around this and have it retrieve the html of a https:// page. Perhaps going through lynx? This would be a very legitimate (university) use. Stickymail me if you want to know the specifics.

lynx? Maybe. But I find cURL [curl.haxx.se] quite easy to use. For example,
<?php$url = 'https://some.secure.site/';
exec("/usr/bin/curl $url", $lines); $lines = implode($lines, "\n");
$lines = htmlspecialchars($lines); echo "<pre>$lines</pre>"; ?>
