Re: python - mechanize/browser/POST issue

Hello ,

i don't know about mechanize but in general all you have to do is a
simple socket text sending
connect to the server then send it POST headers to page in question..

what to send ? getting this your self is much better and one of the
best tools is LiveHTTPHeaders - an addon for firefox -
so open it post the form in browser then see what you got in
LiveHttpHeaders , it will also help you more read through the form
being posted html code (knowing posted fields)

Regards,
Mohamed Yousef

evening...

using mechanize/Browser, i can easily do a url/get, and process submitting a
form that uses a GET as the action. however, I'm not quite sure how to
implement the submittal of a form, that uses the POST action.

Anyone have a short chunk of code that I can observer, that uses the
mechanize.Brows er implentation?

in searching the net, i haven't found any...

thanks

Hi... got a short test app that i'm playing with. the goal is to get data off the page in question. basically, i should be able to get a list of "tr" nodes, and then to iterate/parse them. i'm missing something, as i think i can get a single node, but i can't figure out how to display the contents of the node.. nor how to get the list of the "tr" nodes....

i'm getting the following error: mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 500: i'm running python 5.1 and mechanize 0.1.7b I have no idea as to what I have to change/modify/include to handle this issue. The link that I'm testing is at the bottom of the page. When I insert the link into the browser, I actually get an err page.. so, I suspect that there is a handler that I should be able to modify/use to handle this

Hi. Got a test web page, that basically has two "<html" tags in it. Examining the page via Firefox/Dom Inspector, I can create a test xpath query "/html/body/form" which gets the target form for the test. The issue comes when I examine the page's source html. It looks like: <html> <body> </body>
