Fill Javascript form

[Matteo]

Hi everybody,
I have to fill a web form to authenticate and connect to the internet.
I thought it would have been easy to make a script to do that
automatically
on startup.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the form is written in JavaScript,
and
urllib2 therefore fails to even fetch the form.

The form itself is very simple, just name and password fields and a
"submit"
button.

Do you know of any workaround?

How is the form "written in JavaScript"? Is it dynamically generated?

In any case, can you just send a POST request if you know the values required?

The problem is indeed that the form is dynamically generated.
That's the .js file:

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1)
document.write("<script type='text/javascript' id='chillicontroller'></
script>");

if (!window.queryObj) {
window.queryObj = new Object();
window.location.search.replace(new RegExp("([^?=&]+)(=([^&]
*))?","g"), function($0,$1,$2,$3) { queryObj[$1] = $3; });
if (queryObj['uamip'] == null && queryObj['uamport'] == null)
{queryObj['uamip']='10.192.0.1';queryObj['uamport']='3990';}
}

if (queryObj['uamip'] != null && queryObj['uamport'] != null) {
var script = document.getElementById('chillicontroller');
if (script == null) {
// document.write('manutenzione');
script = document.createElement('script');
script.id = 'chillicontroller';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'http://'+queryObj['uamip']+':3990/www/
chillijs.chi';

var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
if (head == null) head = document.body;
head.appendChild(script);
}
script=document.getElementById('chillicontroller');
if(script==null)document.write('manutenzione');
script.src = 'http://'+queryObj['uamip']+':3990/www/chillijs.chi';

} else {
//document.write('manutenzione');
var noLocation = document.getElementById("noLocation");
if (noLocation != null && noLocation.style) {
noLocation.style.display = 'inline';
}
}

Depending on whether you can reverse-engineer the form, you can either
just POST data to the webserver or you need to access a JavaScript
library. Selenium might be an answer to the latter problem; you could
also look into using WebKit.

The problem is indeed that the form is dynamically generated.
That's the .js file:

This seems to be generated by ChiliSpot (the most recent code is from
http://coova.org/wiki/index.php/CoovaChilli), which also has a
non-interactive or non-browser-based API/Interface.

They even have custom application for mobile phones, and a
Firefox extension for using that API.

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1)
document.write("<script type='text/javascript'
id='chillicontroller'></ script>");

if (!window.queryObj) {
window.queryObj = new Object();
window.location.search.replace(new RegExp("([^?=&]+)(=([^&]
*))?","g"), function($0,$1,$2,$3) { queryObj[$1] = $3; });
if (queryObj['uamip'] == null && queryObj['uamport'] == null)
{queryObj['uamip']='10.192.0.1';queryObj['uamport']='3990';}
}

if (queryObj['uamip'] != null && queryObj['uamport'] != null) {
var script = document.getElementById('chillicontroller');
if (script == null) {
// document.write('manutenzione');
script = document.createElement('script');
script.id = 'chillicontroller';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'http://'+queryObj['uamip']+':3990/www/
chillijs.chi';

var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
if (head == null) head = document.body;
head.appendChild(script);
}
script=document.getElementById('chillicontroller');
if(script==null)document.write('manutenzione');
script.src = 'http://'+queryObj['uamip']+':3990/www/chillijs.chi';

} else {
//document.write('manutenzione');
var noLocation = document.getElementById("noLocation");
if (noLocation != null && noLocation.style) {
noLocation.style.display = 'inline';
}
}

Well when _I_ was in school, I had to run Netscape on HP/UX, displayed on my
local X Server running on a Windows 3.1 box. Displayed over a 2400 baud
modem. Uphill. Both ways. In the rain. With NOBODY to hold my hands. Because
the life of the geek is a lonely life.
