I'm trying to submit a form or two from a program and I can't quite
understand Mailman's form handling, this with Mailman 2.1.23.
What I've done is a little program that does something simple: it first
authenticates [and gets the appropriate cookies], then I GET the
mass-removal page [to get its csrf_object. Then I do a simple POST with
just three form fields:
csrf_object=> <whatever it was in the GET of the page>
unsubscribees => the email address,
'setmemberopts_btn => 'Submit Your Changes'
The response I get back is the original page - no error and no success, just
the mass-removal page again. It is what would happen if you clicked on
the submit button without giving it anything to do
I've also tried a similar POSTing with every field from the form included,
and always the same: a 200 response and I get the mass-removal page back
again. I'd look at the code, but I'm a perl guy -- never messed with python.
What does Mailman do to when receiving a POST to decide if there's
something to do or not? THANKS!
