Hi Folks,
ClientForm is cool at grabbing and parsing stuff from server, I like
it. After the stuff parsed, and even filled values for the Controls, I
popped up an idea of displaying what I had done with webbrowser. Look
at the code:
import ClientForm
import urllib2
import webbrowser
request = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
forms = ClientForm.ParseResponse(response, backwards_compat=False)
...parsing and filling forms
# now I want to display the forms I modified, with webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new_tab (???)
??? is supposed to be a url. But this moment I want to display the
form I filled. Obviously webbrowser takes url as argument rather than
a form. Is there other options to do this? Somebody can help? Thanks!
I don't think that ClientForm supports this out of the box, as "filling
out a form" probably means something very different in terms of internal
representation for a browser and ClientForm. But *if* you can get it to
spit out the HTML, you can open the browser and point it to a file copy
of your html.
But you'd need to rewrite all resource links first, to point absolutly
to the host the page came from.
All in all I don't think this is the road to success. If you really want
something like this, learn how to code an extension to firefox that does
this. Or use e.g. selenium + selenium server to remote control firefox
through python.
