Default Automating Calls to a URL with different Parameters


On Yahoo Finance I can automate specific calls to the Web Site by
changing the URL to:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=msft
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ibm
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aol

I'd like to be able to do the same with the Web Site:

http://perfectstocksite.com/

but when I type in the URL Address Field:

http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=msft
http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=ibm
http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=aol

I get an error. Is there anyway I can do this?

Thanks

Because you're assuming that perfectstocksite.com has been build in
exactly the same way as Yahoo Finance. Hint: it hasn't.
