Re: [Htmlparser-user] java quiz harvester

I couldnt see either of the urls you sent. But, what
you want to do is possible with the parser. Sending
POST requests is a new feature in 1.3 (get the latest
integration release). 

From the testcases, here's a sample (showing creation
of the parser)
<code>
           url = new URL
("http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pcl/bin/cp_search_response-e.asp");
             connection =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection ();
            connection.setRequestMethod ("POST");
            connection.setRequestProperty ("Referer",
"http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pcl/bin/default-e.asp");
            connection.setDoOutput (true);
            connection.setDoInput (true);
            connection.setUseCaches (false);
            buffer = new StringBuffer (1024);
            buffer.append ("app_language=");
            buffer.append ("english");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append
("app_response_start_row_number=");
            buffer.append ("1");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("app_response_rows_max=");
            buffer.append ("9");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("app_source=");
            buffer.append ("quick");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("query_source=");
            buffer.append ("q");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("name=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("postal_code=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("directory_area_name=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("delivery_mode=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("Suffix=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("street_direction=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("installation_type=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("delivery_number=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("installation_name=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("unit_numbere=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("app_state=");
            buffer.append ("production");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("street_number=");
            buffer.append (number);
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("street_name=");
            buffer.append (street);
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("street_type=");
            buffer.append (type);
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("test=");
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("city=");
            buffer.append (city);
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("prov=");
            buffer.append (province);
            buffer.append ("&");
            buffer.append ("Search=");
            out = new PrintWriter
(connection.getOutputStream ());
            out.print (buffer);
            out.close ();
			parser = new HTMLParser (connection);
