Unable to run java script function using HttpClient

[Nimish Patel]

Hi,

I am using HttpClient API for accesing web pages. I am able to access the content (html content)first page.Now I want to login from that page but problem is that there is java script function which is encrypting the password.so I am unable to go to next page and the programme is retriving the content of same page(html content of first page).

Please suggest me How to deal with this problem.

Thank you.

Does the JavaScript possibly do something that's not supported by HttpUnit?

[Rahul Bhattacharjee]

Not very sure but I think that Apaches HTTPClient is only to run methods/commands for HTTP protocol not for running javascript.

Oops ... I read the first post much too quickly, substituting HttpUnit for HttpClient. If you want to create an HTTP conversation back and forth, you're much off using HttpUnit, though. HttpClient -as suggested above- only retrieves the page - it has no facilities for dealing with page content. HttpUnit can do much more in this regard.

yes..that is true ..httpunit can be useful in faking server client interaction.
