I am wanting to automate the input of post variables on a login page for the purpose of webscraping. It would improve the process no end if I can get past the login page.
Then I can schedule some functions to run on cycle automatically. (Had a go with some CURL commands but could not get the result)
Thanks for any help,
lance
Try looking at this article for some suggestions.
The magic part is:
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell (make new document) to set URL to "https://www.fedex.com/ship/shipEntryAction.do?method=doInitialEntry&origincountry=us&locallang=en&urlparams=us&sType=&programIndicator=0"
delay 2
set doc to document "FedEx | Ship Manager | Shipping"
log (doc s name)
do JavaScript "document.forms[ domesticShipmentActionForm ][ recipient.companyName ].value = add " in doc
do JavaScript "submitForm( doSelectRecipientCompanyName )" in doc
end tell
You can use TestPlan to do this. You can fully automate your tests, or you could just leave the browser open at the end and continue on your own manually.
For example, a login might look like:
GotoURL http://somesite.com/
SubmitForm with
%Params% with
%name% mylogin
%pass% mypassword
end
end
It works with both a browserless mode or with a backing browser. I ve only tested that with explorer and firefox, but I d be happy to help you get it running with Safari if you want.
