Also consider RSS, REST, RPC and SOAP as long-term solutions with
increasing overhead/functionality.

These have the advantage of having standards and tons of toolkits
around instead of a custom-brewed client-server hack you may come up
with.

This all presumes you have control over the "success" outputting
server...

If not, you're stuck with scraping what they send, unless they offer
RSS, REST, RPC or SOAP.
