Scripting IE/ NS

[Rich]

If this is some-other-site-than-mine.com, then the answer is probably no since you can get into terms of service, copyright, etc. problems. However, you can contact the other site and ask them if they will allow you to programatically call their script.

If this is your-other-domain.com then you can just place the main form on yourdomain.com and set it up so it calls the script on your-other-domain.com

Thanks for the quick reply. I am interested in some-other-site-than-mine.com. I am not interested in falsely representing my own site by incorporating the functionality of another site. I would like to automate repetitive tasks that I must perform (such as log into account every 30 days). Such a program could reside on my home computer, i.e. not on a web site.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a utility/ program I can use to script http actions, e.g. Go to www.somedomain.com. Enter username and password, simulate click on &quot;Submit&quot; button. Gather/ submit information. Logout.

I have come across programs that allow scripted FTP actions, but no http. I'd rather not have to write such a program (if this is possible).

Any input is very much appreciated

Well.. this sort of thing can be done.. it's how meta search engines work. Problem is.. it may only work if the form data is passed in the URL, in which case you could possibly use a cronjob and lynx?
