The company I work for is switching its front end to a gwt application and I was wondering if it is possible to write a script (whether with bash and wget or cURL, or java or anything) that enables me to download the actual content of the gwt web application. Because right now if I try with a command such as wget I just download a page with some javascript functions, but none of the actual page content (what I am interested in). I am on the QA side so I guess I am wondering if it is possible to perform such a task without having direct access to the developers code.
Thanks!

I found a solution using a tool called selenium. I am able to easily click through the gwt application record my activity within the application for future use, and get the actual html generated by the application which I can then parse for desired content and act accordingly. The only small drawback is that selenium does require the use of a browser, unlike htmlunit or httpunit.
