Can you use Mechanize to work with .net events / postbacks?

Hi.

We couldn't find a single example of using mechanize to submit .net forms. All examples we've seen so far uses pages or resources like

<a href="page.php.. <form action="/action/do"

and so on, but we need to log into a form that was made in .net. These are the controls if you view the source: <a id="AuthUC_btnLogin" class="button primary login" href="javascript:__doPostBack('AuthUC$btnLogin','')">Login</a>

We just want to know if Mechanize can work with .net and, if possible, maybe a link with a few examples or documentation on how to implement it.

Thank you.

Leonardo.

.NET Postback basically uses only one big form with POST to drive the site.

You can try this one

import mechanize
import cookielib

br = mechanize.Browser(factory=mechanize.RobustFactory())

br.set_cookiejar(cookielib.LWPCookieJar())
br.set_handle_equiv = True
br.set_handle_redirect = True
br.set_handle_referer = True
br.set_handle_robots = False

br.open('http://AnotherStupidAspNet.com')
br.select_form(nr=0) # there is only one form, no need to hesitate
br.form['username'] = 'myusername'
br.form['password'] = 'mypassword'
br.form['button'] = 'AuthUC_btnLogin' # **important**, it may change base on what **LINK** you actually want to click
br.submit()
