Subject: midterm

SW409's midterm was assigned yesterday.

This is a programming assignment that is
due next week, at the beginning of class. 
Late submissions will be assessed 10 points
per day late.

Write a program that is able to grab
web pages from at least 5 different search engine
searches. The answers are e-mailed to the person doing
the query.

An applet was e-mailed around as an example of how to
do e-mail in Java. The applet is not going to
run on a servlet (since servlets do not have GUI's).
As a result, the search string, e-mail address,
etc, will have to be prompted by an HTML form, for
the user to type into.

The user response should be immediate, the  request
to perform a search and e-mail the result should probably
run as a thread.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I am available
for appointments or in office hours to help!

Regards,
 - DL

PS For those of you who missed last class, I have e-mailed
helpful hints to this listserver....
