I’m trying to submit a few forms through a Python script, I’m using the mechanized library.
This is so I can implement a temporary API.
The problem is that before after submission a blank page is returned informing that the request is being processed, after a few seconds the page is redirected to the final page.
I understand if it might sound a bit generic, but I’m not sure what is going on. 🙂
Any ideas?
Traditionally When you get a redirect, the status code of the response is 302, and there’s a location header that instructs the browser where to go next. Other techniques(that are lame) would be to put a meta refresh tag in the head of the document.
And I suppose there’s any number of ways to do it with javascript(also lame)
