How to click a link in win32com.client IE?

Question

Hello, I'm using win32com.client to control an IE instance in Python. How can I click a link on a certain page (e.g. using navigate to link href isn't acceptable since it won't trigger referer sending)? Here is the base:

import random
import time
from win32com.client import Dispatch

ie = Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.visible = 1

ie.navigate('http://digg.com')

while (ie.ReadyState != 4):
    time.sleep(0.05)

hrefs = ie.document.getElementsByTagName("A")
href = hrefs[random.randrange(hrefs.length)]
#How to click this one?

Answer 1

Have you tried using the Headers parameter of the navigate method to manually set the Referrer header to this "Referer: http://digg.com".

Answer 2

Turns out it has .click() method. Where is Captain Obvious when I need him?!
