Hi everyone,
I want to create a test that will do a proper login test to a web site
but I need some pointers.
I need to login to the website by accessing an https url and posting to
that, which should return a very small 302 reply with the address of the
internal page. I need to take that page href and then access it, if I
can do all that then the test passes. Of course because I have to access
two urls I also need cookies for session handling. I've already tried
bash which would have worked but for the cookie handling and webinject
which is written in Perl, but this doesn't do exactly what I want in
terms of output so I'd rather write something myself. (I'm also curious
as to the best way to do this)
If anybody knows how to do this could they please give me a quick
pointer and tell me what libraries I need to go read up on?
Thanks
Hari

One word. Selenium.

Didn't sound like a good fit for Selenium to me. Selenium's great,
but if you want to test HTTP response codes, just test HTTP response
codes -- no need to drag your browser into it :-)

You could just use httplib, or urllib2 (using
urllib2.HTTPCoo kieProcessor) if you need to handle cookies. However,
personally I prefer using a higher-level tool that knows a bit more
about web-browser behaviour, e.g.: http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill.html http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?%3...opeTestbrowser
both of which are based on: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/
(BTW, I hear there's work going on on an implementation of
zope.testbrowse r that delegates to Selenium instead of to mechanize --
cool.)

Greetings!
I've searched groups.google.com already to see if I can determine if

subject indicated, it will be a content based site with videos - NO,
it's not a porn site though.
I thought that I'd list the key requirements/specifications for my web
site below and was wondering if some of you'd be so kind as to provide
your thoughts on each and comment on them with...

Anybody know about a Python library for testing websites? I'm
thinking of something like a scriptable browser, where you could tell
it to browse to a certain URL, check for the existence of certain text
in a page, follow a certain link, etc.
I've begun writing my own (because it's so easy to do in Python), but
wondering if there's anything out there like this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to create a perl script that will log into a website (the login
form uses POST), navigate to several pages, and append the (html) content parsed
from those pages to a seperate log file. I'm not very familiar with this aspect
of perl, and have been having some trouble in the POSTing of the form data,
while using cookies to log in.
Visting the site automatically redirects you to a login page. Once you fill
out the login...

I'm considering setting a website up for a club. I do not plan the contents

anything on there that is confidential, that would cause a problem if it
went further.
The basic reason is for publicity of club events. I want to make it easy to

people. I also note that computer literacy is not a...

Hi,
I'm trying to login to the www.vodafone.ie website using
HttpWebRequest.
It works fine with IE/Firefox and the .NET Web Control too, just not
with my code.
I think it's a redirect 302 problem.
I'm using this code in a ASP.NET 2.0 application just in case that
matters,
maybe someone knows a better way to do this?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
