The html code of the form, and my code are below. I can't get the value to post/submit.. instead I get an error. Can anyone help?
HTML Code of Form: - <form method='post' autocomplete='off'>
-
<input type='hidden' name='action' value='grant-revoke' />
-
<input type='hidden' name='creator_badge_index' value='1' />
-
-
<input type='hidden' name='token' value='92dcd92a8bc16f73f330d118ae1ed891' />
-
<input type='hidden' name='do-grant' value='1' />
-
<div id='grant-div'><span class='label'>Grant badge: </span><input type='text' id='grant-userid' name='grant-userid' value='userid / avatar name' /><input type='submit' value='Grant!' /></div>
-
</form>
My Code: - opener = urllib.request.build_opener()
-
cj = http.cookiejar.MozillaCookieJar()
-
cj.load('C:/Users/Alison/Documents/moz_cookies.txt')
-
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
-
-
params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'grant-userid' : 'Guest_xLolKittyx'})
-
form = urllib.request.OpenerDirector.open('http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_manage_badges.php?action=grant-revoke&creator_badge_index=1', params)
-
data = form.read()
-
form.close()
-
print(data)

You are mixing GET-type (indicated by ? in the URL) and POST-type
parameters. Put the action and creator_badge_index parameters also in
the dictionary. And probably you need to provide the other hidden fields
from the form also.
Something like (untested): - paramdict = {
-
'action': 'grant-revoke',
-
'creator_badge_index': '1',
-
'token': '92dcd92a8bc16f73f330d118ae1ed891',
-
'do-grant': '1',
-
'grant-userid' : 'Guest_xLolKittyx',
-
}
-
params = urllib.parse.urlencode(paramdict)
-
url = 'http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_manage_badges.php'
-
form = urllib.request.OpenerDirector.open(url, params)

Oh, and I tried it without the hidden fields as well, but I still get an error.

OK, there is another problem that I overlooked. - form = urllib.request.OpenerDirector.open(url, params)
is the wrong way to send the request. OpenerDirector.open is an instance method of the class OpenerDirector, not a class method. So that only works if you make an instance and then call the method on that. Like: - opener = urllib.request.build_opener(....)
-
form = opener.open(url, params)
That is only useful if you want a special opener, for example with authentication. In the simple cases you can get away with the standard opener by using urlopen: - form = urllib.request.urlopen(url, params)
(this one tested)
