wget http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/p...rTag=Kugamunga index.html

what other solutions are there? I want to be able to just check to see if a certain value is on the website mainly to see if a user is online.

Thanks

You could try using elinks to dump the text from the webpage. Use elinks first to login to the page and save any cookies needed, then when later using -dump command it should log you in automatically.
