I did consider a few attacks... there is the possibility it caches the PDF locally somewhere - might be worth a sniff with sysinternals filemon. The format of the link in the html gives some clue for viewing, but not having seen one for download makes it more tricky.
Yes, that sounds like a worthwhile investigation ;-)
If you have a library card, then go to your local library page (possibly on your council's web site), and see if you can find the entry point. The Essex one is here:
formatting link
(universities typically have access as well)
Once you have given it a valid library card number it redirects you to:
formatting link
but already logged in. You can then search for a BS with its number etc. In the past you would retrieve docs as a PDF which made it possible to retain a copy, and also view full screen etc.
Now it needs silverlight installed and throws you into a fixed window sized viewer which gets each page as you view it for the first time - so its not really conducing to paging through a doc in a hurry, and is rather like painting your hall through the letterbox!
I did some PSMon snooping on the file activity with firefox. It looks like each of the XML pages are recovered from the https stream by ff and then written to a cache file prior to being rendered by silverlight (run in FF's plugin_container process)
So it does not appear as if anything resembling the original PDF makes it as far as the client when viewing. You get stuff like (see end):
So the only presentable version is the onscreen representation, which can only be processed in small sections by on-screen OCR / image capture etc.
Looks like we need to see what a the URI will look like for a download...
I can link these lamps with my first experience of live folk music, way back in 1965.
Barnsley had just built a shiny new YMCA, complete with a nice big stage, which had been booked for a concert before the stage had any fittings whatsoever. I was around because I was into Hospital Broadcasting, and Radio Barnsley was based there.
With a mate we were tasked with getting some lighting working. The best we could manage was a length of festoon lighting cable with as many 500 W GLS lamps as we dared screw into it, and a backdrop of games netting to make it look a little less bare.
I found myself a perch in the flies, and watched proceedings.
Dave Burland was MC, and as far as I can remember, the guests included the McPeake Family and Pete Sayers.
