Re: [Pharo-project] Using WebClient

You can do a simple "man in the middle attack" on yourself. One approach would be to set up your own web server, serve the page with the form to a "real" browser and see what it sends when you submit the form. There is probably also a way to do it with a proxy of some sort, either off the shelf or one you write to log traffic both ways, and then you quickly get a picture of how the conversation works. A network sniffer might be another option. I have had to do things like this with either network or serial port traffic at various times. A few years back, an engineer with a medical device manufacturer was late delivering something that we happened to need at a time that was inconvenient for him. The solution: blame the confusion on the customer (me), of course, and hope that he could later give us something that might make things "easier" on us (which would be a working version of their new software). It got pretty ridiculous shortly before he had to admit that it didn't work. The funny thing was that their demo program for the "new protocol" was using something that looked exactly like the old one :) I was able to show that because I wrote a replacement for their device and connected their program to it: it was obviously not doing what he was claiming.

It might be enough to decide the content of that and send it over the socket. I am probably thinking in CGI terms, which might not be what you need. >> >> >> ________________________________________ >> From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of StÃ©phane Ducasse [stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr] >> Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2010 4:14 PM >> To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr >> Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Using WebClient >> >> if you get answers from squeak-dev let us know. >> >> >> Stef >> >> >> On May 29, 2010, at 10:02 PM, GermÃ¡n Arduino wrote: >> >>> Hi: >>> >>> I'm trying to automate some operations on a web page that requires >>> authentication. >>> >>> I managed to arrive to the form that I need to process, authenticated >>> without problems. >>> >>> But I can't figure out how to process the button (is a button of this type: >>> >>> <input class="lButton" style="" name="submit_search" >>> value="Create File" type="submit"> ) to execute the Create File action. >>> >>> The form have two dates (that I can calculate and fill in) but I can't >>> to imagine how to process the submit button programmatically. >>> >>> Any hint will be appreciated. >>> >>> Cheers. >>> >>> -- >>> ================================================= >>> GermÃ¡n S.
