At 10:13p -0700 09/17/2003, Alan Kimelman didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
I know that if I CURL and download a document from a URL, I lose
my links. My question is how do I use applescript to tell Safari to
access a URL and post various text items such as name, personal
identification number and password? I want to access live links on
the page.
I don't understand how curl relates to Safari.
It sounds like you're talking about multiple different things, so it
would help if you focus on just one and elaborate.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Accessing links on a page
has nothing to do with using curl, so we are all confused.
If you can be more specific with your problem, we can be specific with help.
BTW, AFAICT you cannot post data with Safari (via script).
Perhaps what you want -- I am just guessing here -- is to read the
source of the current page, parse the HTML yourself to extract the
form elements, and create a data string to post via curl? How will
you even know what data to supply? If you have to predefine it, then
there's no need to get the page in the first place because you've
already hard-coded everything.
