Well, after multiple attempts at a wget PowerShell script (the last one works very well for downloading web pages, files, as long as you don’t need to send post parameters or anything like that) ... I found myself writing a script last week that included a custom HTTP POST function as well as using some prior functionality I wrote (ConvertFrom-Html) to convert HTML files to XML documents — which PowerShell can deal with NICELY.
