I need to write a program that checks a URL: if there is a form, it needs to fill in all text boxes with a specific string, and submit it.
I have already written the function that loads the form using http.request. At this point, I need to analyse what comes in, and submit it.
What's the best way to do it? I could:
Place the response in a DOM representation and parse it that way with https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom
Use a headless browser like https://github.com/assaf/zombie to handle things. Note that the number of open and un-responded issues in the project worries me
Am I missing something? Maybe a much better way to go about this?
