Fetching HTML generated by asynchronous request

shanu_040 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
Seeking for your wisdom on how to get a html of an asynchronous request.
I tried www::mechanize method "content" but it failed to retrieve the HTML generated by Ajax call.
Plz suggest is the any way I can get generated source. As we can see the generated HTML using firefox web tool.
Thanks
Shanu

An "Ajax" call means that the HTML page has some Javascript. WWW::Mechanize does not support Javascript. See WWW::Scripter and/or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, or just replicate what the Javascript does in Perl and request the data directly.	[reply]
