This is the kind of thing I'd do with a separate worker process. You could easily write a python script that listens on an OSC port and grabs a given URL and saves it to a file. It might be something like 10-20 lines of code scraped from myriad examples online. Then send an OSC message back to Pd with the file path or read the file and send a formatted OSC message with the data you want.

A tool like Python is great for this kind of use case as opposed to pure Pd. You can then write a simple shell script to launch the Pd patch and the Python script together to start the project.

Hello everyone,

What is the easiest way to get the content of a https webpage in pd, for example this one: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/CYDA.TXT https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/CYDA.TXT Is there any patch that can do this around?

It doesn't seem to work when using [httpget] wrapper based on [mrpeach/tcpclient] changed to connect on port 443 instead of 80: tcpclient: recv: Connection reset by peer (54)

Thanks in advance! Best, n
