Automated http POST'ing... by MrTrick 2004-06-23 20:22:13
I have a LARGE html file, about 6 megs without images. It's also written in french. I want to automate the translation process.

There is a company-approved translation site that will translate html files, but only up to 300kb. The interface is a simple text-field-linked-to-choose-file-box, with a submit button. On clicking the button, the file is uploaded to the website, it's translated, and the website sends the file back to the client (a dialog comes up "do you want to open or save to disk?")

I can handle writing a script to split up the html file into < 300kb chunks, but I have no idea how to automate the browser-based process.
Is it possible to write a script (windows platform) that will automatically upload each file to the site, and save the returned file?
