Sounds interesting.  Only thought I have (and I know absolutely nothing about
this stuff) is that many sites have "anti-bot" code on them to prevent sub-
pages from being snooped.  I believe LUGNET has that actually.  I've no idea
how they work to know if one could be made that was unique from all others and
not blocked.
