I have a process I am trying to automate.
Once a week, a third party sends me an e-mail with a randomly generated login and password to download a zip file of documents.
I have managed to get the login working using HTTP::Cookies and LWP::UserAgent, but the file that is downloaded contains a bunch of JavaScript rather than links.
The page apparently relies heavily on JQuery to generate the list of files. (Redacted image of interface available here: https://imagebin.ca/v/3pRrSI2qr3sH)
The code that, I believe, populates the table is this snippet here:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/WebInterface/custom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#filesContainer').fileTree({
root: '/',
overrideFromHash: true,
expandSpeed: 1000,
collapseSpeed: 1000,
multiFolder: true,
customData: true
}, function(link) {
window.open(link);
});
I need to be able to somehow parse this page to get a list of the files that they have available for download, then download the file. Directory listing is turned off on the server, so I can't just log in and then do a list. Is there a way I can convert this into a URL I can send to the server to get the file list?
