Hello,
Hmm, not sure, but I recently did a post, and I made sure to explicitly
set the form number, and explicity click the correct submit button:
print "Accessing the login page\n";
$mech->get($loginurl);
die "Could not access login page: ", $mech->response->status_line unless
$mech->success;
# Now, fill in the form and submit it.
print "Logging in\n";
$mech->form_number(1);
$mech->field( 'txtActNumber', $login );
$mech->field( 'txtActPass' , $password);
$mech->field( 'radlLogin', "Download");
$mech->click_button('name' => 'btnLogin');
die "Could not submit login form: ", $mech->response->status_line unless
$mech->success;

Subject: WWW::Mechanize question
I've used WWW::Mechanize before, but not for posting to a
form on the web. I'm trying to automate some very boring
postings of spammers to the rfci website. I'm not having much
luck with it.
mech-dump tells me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] new-1206]$ mech-dump
http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/submit_form.php?table=whois
GET http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/lookup.php
domain= (text)
POST http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/submit.php
table=whois (hidden readonly)
domain= (text)
evidence= (textarea)
submit=List me! (submit)
NOTE: There are two fields named 'domain'. This is part of my
problem I think.
Also, If I try to explicitly put something in the 'evidence'
field, it's telling me there is no such field.
Here's a snippet of the applicable code:
my $browser = WWW::Mechanize->new();
# tell it to get the main page
$browser->get("http://rfc-ignorant.org/tools/submit_form.php?t
able=whois");
$browser->field("domain", $_); # there are two fields named
domain $browser->field("evidence", @body); #
$browser->set_visible( $_, @body ); $browser->click();
Thanks for any pointers where I'm going wrong.
Mike
Thanks Rich. I'm not sure about the form number. Maybe that is what
mech-dump is telling me is there are two forms. I'm not sure.
On this page, there is only one submit button. I've tried to explicitly
refer to it by 'List me!', but there was an error saying there wasn't
any button by that name.
Thanks,
Mike
