Automatic login and uploading a file into a web server

Question

i have a system given to me by a client to upload a file to send money to my clients. the way it works is this. i have to login credentials. the first one i log in to upload a CSV file with the clients phone number and money he needs to withdraw. then the second login is used to approve the file that has been uploaded so that money can be sent to that number.

Am looking into automating the process. Can anyone please help me on this. I have a monday deadline on this i really need ur help. Am offering to pay something small for anyone who offers the solution

Answer 1

Don't know much about PHP/Python but in Rails we have Mechanize. Try searching for similar solutions for PHP or Python.

Mechanize allows you to replicate the human behavior (though within certain limits). You can define actions which replicate opening the form url, uploading a file(from local machine) and then call the logout url (the url which is called by logout button).

Answer 2

For python mechanize is also available as Jagira mentioned for Rails. There are some examples on the page.
