Hello
I need to write a script to automate fetching data from a web site:
1. using the POST method, log on, with login/password saved as cookies
2. download page and extract relevent information using regexes
3. log off
4. wait for a random number of minutes, and GOTO 1
I'm a bit confused with how to get POST and cookies in the same
script:
- urllib vs urllib2 vs httplib?
- "ClientCookie.u rlopen("www") behaves identically to urllib2.urlopen ,
except that it deals with cookies automatically"
Has anyone some working code that I could borrow (er... steal) to do
this?
Thank you.

Dear C#Dex,
I am trying to automate a POST to a web page that clicks a button. I
have been able to hit a target web page and run the web page. However,
the button on the page does not click. I can set the target web page to
change to a new URL when I hit it, and that works, but I cannot get the
button to click based on my POST command. Is there some secret to
clicking the button? I have a button named btnGo and I set the value of...

I want to login to a password protected website and fetch the content of the

Get works, and if I post data to a different site it works, so the break down is reading the data from the post....

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
