I was wondering whether one could get the HTML source code from an .swf URI?
For instance a web page such as:
http://media.flixfacts.com/360view/acer_uk/002/acer_uk-002-en.swf
When I use curl to scrape this page it brings back the swf source not the html source.
Any ideas?
I’m not really sure what’s confusing/unexpected – you’re not scraping an HTML file, you’re scraping a SWF file (which is a binary format, so you’re likely getting a bunch of gibberish).
Bottom Line: There is no HTML in a SWF file.
