Sure . Here is the snippet I have been having problem with : ($local_url will
have the following value after I extract the links in the main page using
LinkExtor. As you can see, infact the stnid parameters is already being
passed in as part of the URL string , but when I list the current values of
the fields 'stnid' fields shows the default, which is "Please select a
station", and it doesn't have the Port Chicago station as selected earlier!!)
If you point the browser to the following $local_url, what you will see is
the page that already shows the station selected..
$local_url =
'http://www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/plotqry.cgi?stnid=9415144+Port+Chicago,+CA&flag=1'
...
$res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => $local_url ) );
if ( $res->is_success )
{
#print $res->content;
my @forms = HTML::Form->parse($res->content,$res->base);
my $form;
foreach (@forms)
{
$form = $_;
if ($_->action =~ /get_plot.cgi/)
{
print " Found form that contains the action script!\n";
last;
}
}
if ($form){
print "Form Obtained : \n";
print $form->form;
$form->value('Action','Wind');
$form->value('stnid',"9415144 Port Chicago, CA"); # HERE is the error
#&ListInputs($form);
my $req = $form->click;
$res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success)
{
print "Successful click..!\n";
print $res->content;
}
}
-------
Now, when I don't attempt to change the value of the 'stnid' field, and leave
it as it was , and lick the form. I get an HTML output saying there is not
plot available :
"
Sorry...there is no Wind Plot for today available at this time for
<br>Please select a station</h3>
"
See that the plot server script did not receive the "Port Chicago" station,
and got the unselected option whose value stays at "Please select a station"
thank you,
