Re: POST in WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS

[Corion]

WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS does not currently support POST requests via ->post, because Selenium does not support POST requests unless they are triggered by a form in the current HTML page.

So, update the dom with a new form from ->post, then submit said form? It should work :D (I'm guessing naturally)

This is the approach I plan to take eventually. The code is already there, but I still have to trick Selenium into actually returning the results.

Selenium is not really intended for browser automation. It is more intended for simulating user intaction and so it provides very little programmatic interfaces to query the result state of a request.

Well... Thanks!
