Save HTML page of HTTP request in table

Question

Hello,
I use Oracle 11.2.0.3. I want to Save HTML page of HTTP request in table. I used this:
DECLARE
  l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
  l_http_response  UTL_HTTP.resp;
BEGIN
  l_http_request  := UTL_HTTP.begin_request('http://www.google.com');
  l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
insert into sms_response
(STATUS_CODE , REASON_PHRASE, HTTP_VERSION  )
values
(l_http_response.status_code,l_http_response.reason_phrase, l_http_response.http_version );
  UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
END;
This is the table definition:
CREATE TABLE "SMS_RESPONSE"
  ( "STATUS_CODE" NUMBER,
"REASON_PHRASE" VARCHAR2(256),
"HTTP_VERSION" VARCHAR2(64),
"MSG_BODY" VARCHAR2(300)
So, I need to save the HTML response in the column MSG_BODY. How can I do it ?
Regards,

You can retrieve any http document on the Internet. For example you could retrieve "http://www.ni.com/images/legal/us/nilogo1.gif" which is LabVIEW image from the NI Website. When you download a web page with this tool, you only get the html document, because that is what you asked for. This document embeds images, which most web browsers will download automatically and place within the formatted page. What you will need to do is retrieve the html document, parse it for all embedded image files and then download them one at a time. This is sort of what a "web spider"/"web crawler"/"web bot" does, except they mostly just parse out other pages and then visit those sites collecting information of interest.
