[Web Browser Automation] general tips?

Post by elnaz1010 »

i want to make an app so that it will nevigate on pages of a website and do some click on links. but i dont have any request from user, and web server should do it automatically.

so far i have done some research and got these:
i looked in torrent flux source to find out how it will continue download the torrent even if you close your browser. and i discovered that it will execute BitTornado program that written in python using "passthuru(python [bittornado arguments])" function. i dont know if i got that write but it seems that, this is the reason how it will continue to download the torrent.
so i looked for a web automation class and i found http://sourceforge.net/projects/pamie/.

also i found a sample script for pamie, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Pami ... essage/176
but so far i will get nothing when i run it like "$dir = passthru('python abc.py');"

my python is installed and i can get some output when i run something like http://www.amk.ca/python/simple/celsius.html

any general tip would be appreciated.
