Summary: A program to download every product listed at shopping.com. Step 1: Download every single product from shopping.com. That means, download the title, description, price, and image file from every single product listed. Step 2: Rename and upload image file. The program must rename the image associated with the product, rename it with a .jpg extension, and then upload it to my ftp server. Step 3: Convert product data. The program must take the product data and place it into tab delimented text files according to the format described below. I have also included a sample file for 1 product. The address of that product is found here: "[login to view URL]" The program must download the lowest price available for the item. The program must take the full description, with some of the products, there is a smaller description, after pressing the "More" Link, it displays the full description. Step 4: Split output files.
