dgaramond2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
In our web-based personal finance application, we use WWW::Mechanize to login to financial institution sites and download + scrape users' account statements from HTML pages.
Due to some of these financial institutions' security policy, we need to do the login + downloading from the end user's browser instead of from our servers.
Does anyone know something akin to Mechanize in Javascript? Kind of funny though to think about it, Mechanize's goal is to emulate a browser, and here we have the browser already. We just need to do some automation stuffs on it, i.e. login to a site, click some menu links, submit some form, and send the resulting HTML pages to our servers.
