I have a rookie question: How were you able to discover that link to Akamai servers? I have been through the webpage lightly a couple of times and didn't see it. Or is it Microsoft insider Foo?
I REALLY like this tool. It works great and saves me a ton of time. I'd love to use the webpage scraping for other sites. Thanks for posting this.
