[Zope-dev] AGENT CREATION - REMOTE SEARCHING - REMOTE FORM PROCESSING

[Theodore Patrick]

One of the key elements of agent and spider creation is the ability to
retrieve, parse and store remote objects. All of which Zope can handle very
well. 

Has anyone explored Agent Creation and Remote Spidering in Zope?

Here are my main questions?
---------------------------------------------------

Can Zope interact with other servers as if it were a browser
(crawler/spider/user)?

Can Zope modify its identity(agent-detection parameters) to simulate a
version of a browser?

FACT: The interface to all of the current internet applications online are
forms.
How feasible is it to allow Zope to exchange data Server to Server via
forms?

---------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?
