Hi,

Is there anything on in Python or Django that can be used as a server
side HTTP Client. Something like HTTP Unit and jsdom from NodeJS.

I'm trying to log into some custom site and scrap the data from them.
It would be a plus if the client also support javascript.

Thanks.

mechanize is a very powerful library that can help you do this stuff. the project page is at http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize . I've used it in my work place and it works quite well.

cheers,
Marwan

I recommend you use NodeJS.

Hmm, yeah I heard about that. I was hoping to get something in Python. So I'm can stay with one technology and language.
