Getting past frustrating landing page.

[mitch]

I'm trying to crawl a site that hits you with a "disclaimer.php" page before you can get to any content.  You have to click an "I agree" button that requires a POST and I don't know how to build that into my spider.  Any help would be appreciated!

hey mitch.. what's the page??

i have no clue as to the working s of scrapy.

but. if you can basically craft the process using "multiple curl/cookies.. you can get it in scapy with little probs..

the basic steps (without knowing the page)

walk through the target, using broswer some app to capture network traffic

 --firefox (livehttpheaders) as well as firebug/etc..

do the initial curl

 -get the results

 -craft xpath to extract data

 -do curl, with the requisite post/data

  --check results, store all cookies..
