Website login program
Would anyone happen to have a small python program (with or without gui) that can log a user into a website, at regular intervals?

The program would have to take the following as input

1. the URL of a website (http)
2. the user ID
3. the user pasword
4. click (simulate a keypress or mouse click) on the button to log the user in.

if the user could not be logged in, due to the website being overloaded, then it would do a retry at the next interval (where the interval can be supplied by the user, preferably in seconds)

Or could someone explain how to do this?

Here is a simple script:
Code:
import httplib
import time
site = "www.mysite.com"
form = "/cgi-bin/form.py" #the path to the login form processor
username = "MyName"
password = "MyPassword"
form_data = "?USERNAMEFIELD=%s&PASSWORDFIELD=%s"%(username, password) #Change USERNAMEFIELD and PASSWORDFIELD for the form you are using
wait = 10 #Wait period 10 minutes if site is busy.
login_ok = "Thank you for logging in" # Some text that would be on the page if login was okay

while True: 
    conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(site)
    conn.request("GET", form+form_data)
    resp = conn.getresponse()
    if resp.status == 404: 
        print "Webpage not found"
        break
    else: 
        data1 = resp.read()
        print data1
        if data1.find(login_ok) != -1: 
            print "Logged in"
            break
        else: 
            print "Trying again in ", wait, "minutes"
            time.sleep(wait*60)

If you need help with this then please refer to the Python documentation.
