I'm pretty bad at AppleScript. But I thought this might be a neat idea:
display dialog "Function: " default answer "Function Name"
set myfunction to text returned of result
tell application "Internet Explorer"
OpenURL "
http://www.php.net/search.php"; FormData "pattern=" &
myfunction
end tell
I based it off of code posted by nellA hciR (thanks hcir). But it
doesn't seem to work -- for some reason the script is appending
"TTPProxy" to the end of my POSTed data (so that if the function I
entered is "empty" it will be sent as "emptyTTPProxy"). I tried
diddling with the MIME type, as described in the dictionary, but it
didn't seem to have any effect.
Does anyone know enough about scripting IE to tell me if it's possible
to simply send a POST variable along with my OpenURL command?
Thanks!
Erik
PS: originally I was going to do it with a Perl script and cURL, and
command it with "do shell script", but then I looked in IE's dictionary
and saw that you could send POST vars with that, in theory.
