casperjs -- post syntax???

[bruce]

Hi.

Got what should be a simple issue.

Casperjs + waitfor + post method!

The following chunk of code is illustrative of what I'm looking for.
The commented out GET works no prob.

However I'm not sure what the correct syntax for doing a waitfor+POST
should be. What I have doesn't appear to be working. It hangs. If
someone can verify that the syntax is wrong or correct, or point me to
any sample code/docs.

thanks



var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true,
logLevel: 'debug',
waitTimeout: 600000, // new maximum waitTimeout
pageSettings: {
loadImages: true,
javascriptEnabled: true,
}
});

phantom.timeout=600000;
phantom.stepTimeout=600000;
phantom.cookiesEnabled = true;

var x = require('casper').selectXPath;


var ua='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0'
var url1 = casper.cli.get("url1");
var pdata = casper.cli.get("pdata");


casper.userAgent(ua);



//casper.start(u);
casper.start();


var processPage = function() {
this.echo(this.page.content).exit();
};

/*
***THIS WORKS FOR A BASIC GET/URL

casper.thenOpen(url1).waitForSelector(x("//a[contains(@href,
'securex')]"), processPage,

function fail() {
console.log("oops11");
}
);
*/


//-- appears to have issues with the post..
//-- how should the post syntax be implemented?????
//
casper.thenOpen(url1,{
method: 'post',
data: pdata

}).waitForSelector(x("//a[contains(@href, 'securex')]"), processPage,

function fail() {
console.log("oops11");
}
);
