in reply to Download FIle with WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS

Does the content method work? What does phantomjs.org say about how it handles file downloads?

    'content' is providing source of the page. i used as print $mech->content(); And about handling download I read some articles that show its possible with phantomjs but examples are given in .js. The documentation of WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS does not state any particular method of handling file downloads.

        var fs = require('fs');

var page=this;

var result = page.evaluate(function() {

    var out;
    $.ajax({
        'async' : false,
        'url' : 'fullurltodownload.csv',
        'success' : function(data, status, xhr) {
            out = data;
        }
    });
    return out;

});

fs.write('mydownloadedfile.csv', result);
