masochist! :) Try using perl. You will have a lot less wheels to
re-invent. Even if you have to learn perl, it will still be quicker.
And the program could probably fit on one page.
  Perl does HTTP already, and makes it easy to parse and modify HTML
pages. I have done similar to what you describe, if you would like some
example code.
