Curling in an input

curl -d "pre_text=cgatggtacatggagtccagtagccgtagtgatgagatcgatgagctagc&submit=Submit" http://web.expasy.org/cgi-bin/translate/dna_aa

Question responses

1. Yes, there are a few links that show up within the ExPASy translation server’s responses upon inspecting the page. The first is "ga.js." This is where all the javascript code is stored. Javascript code is the code that turns inputs into outputs. There are a few .css files: "sib_print.css," "base.css," and "sib.css." This is what makes the webpage look pretty. These files are joined together in the HTML code, or "/translate" page.
2. "/cgi-bin/translate/dna_aa" presents as an identifier for an action. "pre_text" is an identifier for the textarea name. I would also argue that "POST" would be an identifier for a method in the form.

Extracting Answers via Command Line

curl -d "pre_text=cgatggtacatggagtccagtagccgtagtgatgagatcgatgagctagc&submit=Submit" http://web.expasy.org/cgi-bin/translate/dna_aa | sed "1,47d" | sed "14,44d" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | sed "2s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "4s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "6s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "8s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "10s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "12s/[A-Z]/& /g" | sed "s/M/Met/g"| sed "s/-/Stop /g"

Notebook

With the curl function, "curl -d" is used to capture the data of the website. "pre_text=" is used because that is where the input data goes into. "&submit=Submit" was a command that I found while I was looking on a website. When going about extracting the data, I first deleted out the section before and after the desired data I wanted. Then, I deleted everything in between the "< >" brackets. Then, I went and spaced out the uppercase letters and substituted "-" for "Stop" and "M" with "Met."
