Hi to everybody. These days I was looking for a neopets accounts generator but I didn't find any. So I decided to make my own program. I already have the name and the mail aspects solved, but, I have a problem: When I looked for the form to sign up in neopets I just can't find how they do it. I looked in the html code and im still lost. I use Mechanize to look for it, so, if anyone can show me how to fill the sign up form, I could release my program I'm not a professional programer. Sorry for my bad english, but I hope that someone will understand what a wrote Any help will be accept.

You should get into the habit of packet sniffing data which is being submitted so you can simulate the same data in your programs. You can get add-ons like Live HTTP Headers etc for your browser or something like Wireshark which shows you exactly what headers and data are being submitted while you're using your browser.

Well, I did what you tell me, I saw the html code and I get this:

html codeid='signupPage'>
Sign Up with Neopets (Step 1 of 4)
sf'>Your password must be at least 6 characters long, and include at least 2 numbers. You may also use !@#%^&*$+._() and capitalisation matters (A is different from a).Re-enter Password

And in Live HTTP headers I got:

Live HTTPPOST /signup/ajax.phtml method=step1&username=&password1=&password2=&terms=true&destination=

So, what I have to do? That the part of my code that i'm traying to complete:<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Quote<p>import mechanizeimport cookielibbr = mechanize.Browser()cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()br.set_cookiejar(cj)br.set_handle_robots(False)br.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-VE; rv:1.9.0.1)Gecko/2008071615 Debian/6.0 Firefox/9')]br.open('

Is the POST form submitted via <form></form> or through javascript? Because I've only used mechanize with forms before and wouldn't know how to send arbitrary post data.

Looks like the forum decided to mess your post up, can you re-post it?
 
Normally you should be able to just url encode your data in a dictionary and post it in the open function, so something like:
 

params = {'username': USERNAME, 'password1': PASSWORD1 etc}
data = urllib.urlencode(params)
html = opener.open(url,data)

oh yes, here is it again:

 

Well, I did what you tell me, I saw the html code and I get this:

</div>

<div class='clear'></div>

</div>

</div>

 

And in Live HTTP headers I got:

 

 

Live HTTP

POST /signup/ajax.phtml method=step1&username=&password1=&password2=&terms=true&destination=

 

So, what I have to do? That the part of my code that i'm traying to complete:

 

 

import mechanize
import cookielib

br = mechanize.Browser()
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()

br.set_cookiejar(cj)
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)

br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-VE; rv:1.9.0.1)Gecko/2008071615 Debian/6.0 Firefox/9')]

br.open('http://www.neopets.c.../index.phtml?')

br.select_form(nr=1)

for f in br.forms():
    print f
 

I guess trough javascript.

So in that code you've got already you're setting your user-agent and then requesting the signup page. So next you'll need to post the data so it'll be this part:

 

params = {'username': USERNAME, 'password1': PASSWORD1 etc}
data = urllib.urlencode(params)
html = opener.open(url,data)

 

So you plug in your variables which you've found from packet sniffing (method=step1&username=&password1=&password2=&terms=true&destination=), put those in your dictionary and then post the data to the url you've already got too (/signup/ajax.phtml):

 

html = opener.open(url,data)
