Site Skinner

Intro

Site skinner is a collection of class objects that are designed to get infromation from the internet parse information to a database and then publish this information.

There is support for the well known protocols HTTP FTP Telnet SMTP POP and Ping

On the Internet there is a lot of valuable information. In most cases the data is not easily available. The only way to look at the data is by using the interface supplied by the provider of that data.

With Site Skinner you are able to overcome that barier.

Overview

Site Skinner is build as an ActiveX dll. But there is also a very easy to use executable with VB script support. This will let you start up Site Skinner Pro as a stand alone that uses VB Script as a macro language but you are also able to call it from any programming language that use an ActiveX dll.

If you have a datasource where you do not like the output then there are 3 steps to take in order to get it the way you want. First you have to get the data then you have to convert that data so that it is easily available and after this you publish the data the way you want it. Of course you don't have to use all 3 steps. In a lot of case one of these class objects will give you all the functionality you need.
