Re: scripting an interactive web page

Do you need to parse the data? If so you can't go past beautifulsoup :

The devil is in the details here: how do you login ? If its just
simply HTTP auth, or if it is using GET parameters (and you don't care
about the security of your login) you can pass that into wget. If its
more complex I think you are looking at writing your own script.
