Hello all, I've been trying to send POST data to this library database with Python's urllib, but I can't get it to work.
The website is http://catalog.denverlibrary.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?getLimitedTerms+2307(although the session expires after a short period of time. So it's better to first go to denverlibrary.org and then navigate to the advanced search page). This is the script that I used: ################################################################### import urllib queryString = "database=10&search1=%2F%2Fw&terms1=&bool1=and&search2=%2F%2Fn&terms2=&bool2=and&search3=%2F%2Ftw%2F&terms3=nanking&bool3=and&search4=%2F%2Fsd%2F&terms4=&bool4=and&search5=%2F%2Fed%2F&terms5=&spellcheck=false&keywords1=qdvds&keywords2=--none--&datelimit=%3E&year1=&year2=&limiter_count=3&branch=&Search=Search&Available=yes" url = " http://catalog.denverlibrary.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?customSearchFinish+17410"; print urllib.urlopen(url, queryString).read() ################################################################### However, whenever I run the script I receive the page I was on (Advanced Search page) again. I'd like to get the page with the search results. This is what I got from livehttpheaders when I initiated a search from the website: ################################################################### http://catalog.denverlibrary.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?customSearchFinish+17410 POST /cgi-bin/cw_cgi?customSearchFinish+17410 HTTP/1.1 Host: catalog.denverlibrary.org User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://catalog.denverlibrary.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?getLimitedTerms+17410 Cookie: __utma=109436176.390208191.1209600128.1209671991.1209676393.6; __utmz=109436176.1209600128.1.1.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr= catalog.denverlibrary.org|utmcct=/cgi-bin/cw_cgi|utmcmd=referral; __utma=125080728.808666458.1209606982.1209606982.1209606982.1; __utmz=125080728.1209606982.1.1.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr=denverlibrary.org|utmcct=/catalogs/index.html|utmcmd=referral; __utmc=109436176; __utmb=109436176 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 322 database=10&search1=%2F%2Fw&terms1=&bool1=and&search2=%2F%2Fn&terms2=&bool2=and&search3=%2F%2Ftw%2F&terms3=nanking&bool3=and&search4=%2F%2Fsd%2F&terms4=&bool4=and&search5=%2F%2Fed%2F&terms5=&spellcheck=false&keywords1=qdvds&keywords2=--none--&datelimit=%3E&year1=&year2=&limiter_count=3&branch=&Search=Search&Available=yes HTTP/1.x 302 Found Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 21:13:54 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.0 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8b PHP/5.1.6 JRun/4.0 Location: http://catalog.denverlibrary.org:80/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?resultsScreen+17410+1+1+0 Content-Length: 260 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ################################################################### I'd appreciate any suggestions.
