Okay, this is going to be hard to explain but here goes nothing:

Lately I’ve been working a lot with POST and GET requests, but now I want to send a POST/GET request to this site called: http://www.mangareader.net/

The main problem I’m facing is that I want to use the search function of this site. Normally I would send a get request or something like that, but apparently this search function doesn’t work that way, it works with some kind of Javascript code? I don’t know exactly what it is, but try typing “Elf” in the search bar, and you’ll get a drop down list of all the mangas (Japanese comics) with the word “Elf” in them. I want to know how this process is called, and how I can implement it into a Java program. For instance:

Login into a website
– > Send an HTTP post request. Get HTML data back. Process the HTML data. Get the information I need from the HTML source.

Using a search function on a regular site like google.com or bing.com
– > Send get request. Get HTML data back. Process the HTML data. Get the information I need from the HTML source.

Using search function on mangareader.net
– > ??????????

How would I achieve this? A theoretic explanation is enough, but a practical example would be great as well.

    If you analyse the javascript that runs when search you get the following:

    GET http://www.mangareader.net/actions/search/?q=test&limit=100 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 113ms]

    In other words, you can search on the site by a GET-request to

    http://www.mangareader.net/actions/search/?q=test&limit=100

    Where ?q contains your search word.
