So when you tried "java wikitext parser" in Google, what results did you

If there is only a set of things you are trying to extract, just
download the page with http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HTTP

Then pick out what you want with regexes and indexOf.

He is not saying anything about needing help with HTTP
requests.

It will obviously work, but it is a DIY way.

Does any of them use wiki markup?
