You can use the urllib module to get the contents of web-pages for you (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html).

Speifically, look at the functions urlencode and urlopen to create the post data and to get the page.

hmm.. I now can login the webpage entering the username and password. I used urlencode but this command's format needs key & keyvalue.

now I need to upload a file to an exe file such on the web page. I am tring to write a script simulating the user behaviours on a web page. I sniffed the post data when I send the file to the system. and there is not a static format.

now I need to post a raw data such as;

"""
____content type: lþaksdfcýhovýh

heyy!!!
why are you trying to post me!!
PLES<html></html>
<body>
</body>
"""

as you see I wanna send a pure string. how can I send this data? all kinds of help are welcome:)

I used PAMIE to automate WebApp testing for QA in my company.
It worked out great.
