I made [httpget] for fetching webpages into pd:

That's nice. Now we need some html parsing objects so the pages go
into the patch and not the pd window. It works well if the received
pages are loaded into a table. I made tabfind to search a table for
a string. Tables seem more efficient than lists and less volatile.

Any ideas on how to approach the HTML parsing? It seems like using an
xml-based parsing library would be the way to do that. There is detox
in jasch_lib, but I don't know the state of it.
