[twill] Making a POST request without a form

[Ryan van Roode]

Great stuff, it works:

--
from twill import get_browser
from twill import commands as c
import urllib

b = get_browser()

# log in
b.go('http://www.blah.com/');
c.fv(1, 'username', 'test')
c.fv(1, 'password', 'test')
c.submit()
c.find('Welcome')

# now post a request without a form
mb = b._browser
data = urllib.urlencode({'some_var':'blah','another_var':'foo'})
r = mb.open("http://www.blah.com/postRequestHere/", data)

# print the response
print r.read()
--

I'm all set. Thanks for your help.
