This is now the third repost of project I originally requested in early September. Please only bid if you are fully experienced with all project requirements. Web Searcher/Shopping Agent: I require a client-side web shopping agent to multi-thread out, retrieve data, and display select multiple part info from up to 12 different URL's. Concept & format is similar to display style as on [login to view URL] & [login to view URL] Speed of the application is critical. Total time to retrieve & display all data on broadband connection should be less than 5 seconds. C++ & winsock controls should probably be used for the development platform however I am open to alternate suggestions. Retrieval from some sites will require any combination of POST, HTTPS, redirects, secure logon, and cookie handling. Web connection methods should allow for dun & direct internet connection. DUN should spawn if no connection detected. Although not a current requirement, data parsing methods should be based to allow for future live-updating to accomodate changes to sites html. Also future versions of agent should allow for dynamic ad box. Data to be displayed in single form multi-column listview box. All columns must be ascen/descen sortable. Line click should spawn default browser for part details. Data should be dynamically displayed as retrieved and not pause between results. As mentioned above, total time required to return & display all data should be less than 5 seconds when operated on broadband connection. Display format should be similar to attached file.
