some trouble about the "POST Request"

[work4seo]

i want to use "POST Request" to login the wordpress blog and post a article

when i fill the data as "log=testzp&pwd=admin888&wp-submit=Log+In&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Ftestzp.wordpress.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&testcookie=1"

zp didn't login the blog

the same trouble happened when i posting the article

when i run debug the zp showed "OK"

question:
How to determine the "POST Request" had been successfully executed

here is the template

You cannot send cookies with POST request in current version of ZP.

You cannot send cookies with POST request in current version of ZP.

it's really a bad news and so is there have other solution?

 

[rostonix]

You can save profile (which contains cookies) in 1 project and load it in other ones.

i just ran into the same problem... having to POST with cookies. Saving/loading profiles doesn't really help here, does it?
I wonder if there's some sort of workaround as long as ZennoPoster's built-in POST doesn't support cookies.

Maybe via direct C# code utilizing CookieContainer() or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Yes why does ZP not have this feature yet? I requested this months ago and I think this is such an important feature to have.

After fiddling around a bit I think it's not possible via C# because there's no access to the necessary Zennoposter objects.

I'm using this JavaScript workaround now, which should work well enough in most cases:

function post_to_url(path, params) {
    var form = document.createElement("form");
    form.setAttribute("method", "post");
    form.setAttribute("action", path);

    for(var key in params) {
        if(params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            var hiddenField = document.createElement("input");
            hiddenField.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
            hiddenField.setAttribute("name", key);
            hiddenField.setAttribute("value", params[key]);

            form.appendChild(hiddenField);
         }
    }

    document.body.appendChild(form);
    form.submit();
	
    return true;
}

Maybe this will help others as well. I hope the developers of Zennoposter will integrate cookie handling in POST requests soon.

Oh damnit... this SHOULD work ( it worked succesfully in Firefox's webconsole) but DOES NOT work from within Zennoposter.
Sorry. Does anyone have any other ideas? Really feeling hopeless here.

Ok I can't even output a simple alert() - am I missing something? Does using JS in Zennoposter work at all (except for simple operations)??

Solution using C#

I manipulated the DOM in C# now and what can I say... IT WORKS!

Here's a short example:

// get variables from project
string vURL 	= project.Variables["vMyURL"].Value;
string vValue	= project.Variables["vValueToPost"].Value;

// init
Tab tab = instance.ActiveTab;
Document doc = tab.MainDocument;

// setup form
HtmlElement myForm = doc.CreateElement("form");
myForm.SetAttribute("id", "myPostForm");
myForm.SetAttribute("method", "post");
myForm.SetAttribute("action", vURL);

HtmlElement hiddenField1 = doc.CreateElement("input");
hiddenField1.SetAttribute("type", "hidden");
hiddenField1.SetAttribute("name", "whatever");
hiddenField1.SetAttribute("value", vValue);

HtmlElement myButton = doc.CreateElement("input");
myButton.SetAttribute("type", "submit");
myButton.SetAttribute("id", "MyPostButton");

// manipulate dom
doc.Body.AppendChild(myForm);
doc.FindElementById("myPostForm").AppendChild(hiddenField1);
doc.FindElementById("myPostForm").AppendChild(myButton);

// click submit button
doc.FindElementById("MyPostButton").Click();
if (tab.IsBusy) tab.WaitDownloading();

Dear developer(s) of Zennoposter: Please add support for cookies in POST requests and check if JS is fully supported right now.
It's really akward to handle stuff like this. It works, but it's a pain. Thank you.
