Hi,

I have a url to an html table that contains a table. The HTML table
structure is well defined. I need to grab data from the html table and
upload it to my database table every night.

I prefer using SSIS. Can I use a HTTP connection to do that?

Thank you,

Hi Max,
Welcome to Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup Services.

I understand that you would like to if you can use a HTTP connection to
grab data from a HTML page via URL.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Unfortunately you cannot. HTTP connection is only used for sending
(uploading) or receiving (downloading) files via HTTP. You can refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186988.aspx.

For your requirement, you may consider using Script Task to write some .NET
code to access the web page via HttpWebRequest and extract part of the
table in XML and parse the XML snippet into a dataset and then transfer the
data into the your database table. You may refer to the following articles:

Hope this helps! Thank you!

Best regards,
