I've written a Script that navigates various urls on a website, and
fetches the contents.
The Url's are being fed from a list "urlList". Everything seems to
work splendidly, until I introduce the concept of encoding parameters
for a certain url.
So for example if I wanted to navigate to an encoded url
http://online.investools.com/landing.iedu?signedin=true rather than
just http://online.investools.com/landing.iedu How would I do this?
How can I modify the script to urlencode these parameters:
{signedin:true} and to associate them with a specific url from the
urlList
Thank you!
