If you haven't already figured out a way to pull down the HTML page to parse, I'd just like to recommend cURL as a great command-line tool for downloading web pages to parse. I've used it many times in conjunction w/ VB6 for parsing meteorological data out of national weather service forecast pages automatically.

edit- Ah I see "working prototype" in the post above mine. Oh well, better late than never
