read value from webpage (dsl speed)

[megasound]

hi all,

i have a question. i want to read a specific value from a webpage.
we want to test the DSL speed from our outher location in the country.

so what we have is : http://speedtest.bbned.nl/test/initialmeter.php
and we want to "grab" the bandwidth value (so in Mbps)
we want to make a test to see the results, and if the result is below X value the alarm will go..

My question is HOW do we get that value from this webpage ?
Many thanks in advance

Sorry, there is no such option and I am not sure we will implement it.
We plan to implement SOAP/XML test method instead.

Actually, you may write custom script (VB or JS) to grab necessary value from web page. Also you may use "Shell script" test method and some free third party utilities. For instance, you may use free utility wget.exe to download content of the page and regular command line commands to parse it and grab value you need. As an example, you may take script, posted by Yoorix here: http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4116
