Automated form filling

[honda4life]

Hello,

I want to use automated form filling on a webpage with a Pi.
Something like iMacros addon for firefox.
I'm using Python Curl and Beatiful Soup to do the necessary things, but I'm hoping there is a better way.
Any suggestions, because it's very difficult this way.


Thank you!

Form filling for what exactly??

Most web forms I've seen use POST requests this can be simulated using wget and a simple shell script the same as using Firefox or any other browser.

You may find Python's requests module quite handy http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html

I really hope that that's not a euphemism for spam.
