firefox cache & Python

Hi,

I have got into an interesting problem. Today I found that if I type
"about:cache?device=disk" (without the quotes) in the address bar of
firefox, it displays disk cache information. Now I am thinking to
write a Python program that will read this cache info. My initial idea
is to somehow save the page in a file and parse it. But how to save
the page without human intervention (pressing ctrl+s) :) ?

Hope I could make it clear what I am trying to do...

Any clue?

regards,
Subeen.

Searching for FF automation but still no luck.

Any other idea on how to locate the cache directory and then read the
directory ?
