Constructive Tone: I figured that it might be nifty to scrape cedar pollen count information from a calendar and then shoot myself an email when it was higher than 100 gr/m3.

This would be a pretty difficult thing to grab when scraping normally, but the app errors before loading the content:

Thanks for letting us know. Just tried and am getting the same error. The page is loading content dynamically from another source... We'll look into this and see if we can get it working on this page

Do you support POSTs for fetching dynamic data? I found where it's pulling from, here's the curl command:

curl "https://www.keepandshare.com/calendar/fns_asynch_api.php?r=0... --data "action=getrange&i=1940971&from=2013-12-26&to=2014-02-06"

No, we don't have POST support quite yet. We're working on a solution.
