Hello -
I have just discovered the whole Simile project, and let me say that I
am blown away.  I think this is amazing stuff.

Anyway, I am interested in using crowbar as a crawling agent.  I wrote
a crawler and parser in python that uses urllib2 (and lxml with
xpath), but I'm getting problems.  It seems I can't just send a post
request down the line to this server... the form has some javascript
that executes prior to submitting, so my encoded POST request is not
jiving with the cgi.  I'd like to use Crowbar as my crawling agent
because it's a full fledged browser and I can simply load and submit
the form as a browser would.

The problem I'm having, though, is that crowbar doesn't seem to handle
HTTPS:  When I type in a URL with https: to the crowbar interface, I
get:

undefined is not a valid HTTP URL

Any suggestions?
