How are your js skillz? Try send_http_request from modules/utils.js to retrieve the content. It's a coroutine. There are a few uses of it in the conkeror source, and also on the webjumps wiki page that can be referred to for an example of how to call it. Now, this site obviously requires you to be logged in, so it must have some kind of cookie to keep track of your logged-in state. I am not 100% positive that send_http_request will use that, so before we get to the next step, I would like you to test this to find out whether just that much works, or whether we need a different approach altogether to deal with the login. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
