How to automate IE/Firefox to download some files from a https: website with Javascript links?
- by Horace Ho
Some of my users download several pdf files from an internet website regularly. They'd like to automate the process to save a few minutes every day, and most importantly, to minimize errors.
I tried mechanize but failed as mechanize does not process javascripts. Since the download links in the remote site are all triggered by javescript, I am looking for solutions to automate the browser itself. Any recommendations?
https remote server
login and search are FORM POST
file download link are JavaScripts
on win32
IE or Firefox
thanks!
