I use NetSurf a lot. But sometimes, it’s… pfffff.

For example, impossible to log-in automatically here with the right credentials.
Or to use a browser proxy without a lot of clics.

One solution would be to be able to send a form automatically from NetSurf.
Easy with get forms. But is there a solution to simulate a post form?

Perhaps with some simple JS or some kind of special local web page?

In terms of using NetSurf would a saved file with the login page link and keeping the NetSurf Cache in RAMDisc do the job?

The problem seems to revolve around the validity of cookies for the current session so blowing away all cookies¹ at the end of the session should leave you ready to go the next time.

¹ Actually that’s blowing away the complete cached items (oh, and giving you a faster cache during the session.

You might care to try my method, which has been well scoffed at, but works impeccably!

Get it from here

And remove the cookies too. An all in one solution :)
Thanks!

NetSurf, like other browsers, saves its cookies on quitting, so it has to be quitted before manipulating the file. Someone really clever could probably manipulate the cookies in memory, but this works!

Anyway, since I don’t go to the GIT part of the website, or connect with another computer, there is no disconnection problem here. So the HTML file is enough :)

Stupid question; how did you manange to generate the csrf token?

I’m afraid that part was a form posted here somewhere by someone else. I can take no credit for that!

My bit was the parsing of the cookie file and re-writing it with any lines referring to ROOL omitted!

Then stringing the lot together in a RISC OS application so that it does the job.

Perhaps whoever devised the form will see this and answer that  –  I just used it!

And now may be totally redundant!

Tant pis !

The credentials automatically filled are still very useful.
