I'd like to retrieve data from a .csv generated by a website. urlread works, but is not recommended. webread returns a http error message. Anyone know what feature of webread causes different behavior than urlread? Alternatively, is there a script to just download the file (e.g. web.m but without the interactive browser)?
>> urlread('https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi?com_orbit_class=JFC;table_format=CSV;c_fields=AbAc;&query=1')
ans =
'spkid,full_name
1000099," 8P/Tuttle"
1000061," 96P/Machholz 1"
1000047," 126P/IRAS"

webread apparently doesn't like the semicolon delimiter between fields. I changed the semicolons to ampersands and it works.

I have the same issue.
How is this an "Accepted Answer"? If I understand the fix is to manully edit the file to change the delimiters by hand?
Can webread delimiter be user settable? If not will urlread stay put until it does?

Ran in:
url = 'https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi?com_orbit_class=JFC;table_format=CSV;c_fields=AbAc;&query=1'
url = 'https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi?com_orbit_class=JFC;table_format=CSV;c_fields=AbAc;&query=1'
url_amp = regexprep(url, ';', '&')
url_amp = 'https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi?com_orbit_class=JFC&table_format=CSV&c_fields=AbAc&&query=1'
char(webread(url_amp).')
ans =
'spkid,full_name 1000099," 8P/Tuttle" 1000061," 96P/Machholz 1" 1000047," 126P/IRAS" 1000154," 262P/McNaught-Russell" 1003435," 333P/LINEAR" 1001542," 342P/SOHO" 1002413," 389P/Siding Spring" 1000981," C/1914 S1 (Campbell)" 1001439," P/1999 J6 (SOHO)" 1001843," C/2002 R5 (SOHO)" 1001852," P/2002 S7 (SOHO)" 1003317," P/2008 Y12 (SOHO)" 1003064," P/2010 D2 (WISE)" 1003231," P/2013 AL76 (Catalina)" 1003377," C/2015 D1 (SOHO)" 1003593," P/2017 TW13 (Lemmon)" '
