Hi,
To know what a browser is saying to a server I wrote a 'remote echo proxy' several years back and am slowly improving it. I recently changed to echos the request into a frame above the page and have not tested it very much at all but you are welcome to try. to try the current version, set your browsers http proxy to Proxy: bionix.cs.uoregon.edu Port: 3776 It is not really ready for prime time but often gets the job done. now that I have started playing with 'view I am tempted to make a 'local echo proxy' people could run on their own machines which would be an awful lot easier to make robust. when directed to your page and link returns: POST http://www.tradesports.com/ HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows XP) Opera 6.05 [en] Host: www.tradesports.com Accept: text/html, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */* Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: windows-1252;q=1.0, utf-8;q=1.0, utf-16;q=1.0, iso-8859-1;q=0.6, *;q=0.1 Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, identity, *;q=0 Referer: http://www.tradesports.com/ Proxy-Connection: close Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-length: 151 request_operation=trade&request_type=action&contractBook=none&mdView=0&incpage=&isLive=true&selConID=6227&eventSelect=&location=TradeCentre&updateLis On Fri, 30 Jan 2004, Gisle Dankel wrote: > > Hi fellow rebols, > > I'm writing a script to collect data from various web pages and send the results in > an email. > Most web pages are ok but a few cause some problems. > > Here's an example: > > www.tradesports.com > > This page allows you to place bets on various topics. > I want to extract this kind of information, but the links trigger javascript > functions so there appears to be no direct URLs to the resulting pages. > I figure I need to open an HTTP port and post whatever the javascript function sends > myself. > > Here's an example of a javascript function call in a link: > > <a href="#" DEFANGED_OnClick="DEFANGED_javascript:trade(88190);return false;">Trade > This Now!</a> > > And here's the trade function: > > function trade(conID) > { > > document.POSTGSX.request_operation.value = "trade"; > document.POSTGSX.request_type.value = "action"; > document.POSTGSX.selConID.value = conID; > document.POSTGSX.location.value = "TradeCentre"; > document.POSTGSX.submit(); > } > > I don't know much about javascript and HTTP post. > >From what I can gather I need to send the same information to the server as the > >submit() function above, but I have absolutely no idea of what information is sent > >or how to send it.
