Is it possible to mimic what selenium does like navigating to a site and logging in and filling out a form then logout in COS.I am trying to do that in COS using %Net.HttpRequest class or should I be using a different class the idea is to be able to call a web app login into it and fill out form and log out
Can you tell us more about what do you want to achieve?
I did something similar in past. %Net.HttpRequest is the right way
You have to mimic a browser and have to find the right Form and Input tags to fill USER and PW typically.
The risk you have:
- you may get a awfull amount of JS and CSS stuff.
- If it isn't a classic form you may need to reverse engineer all the dynamics behind (like a browser).
It may end up with a very tricky coding exercise.
It could be easier just to log what client serves to a server in a form and do the same in objectscript.
@Robert Cemper Is it possible to have an example as I do not know where to start so far using the %Net.HttpRequest I have been able to navigate to the Log in page and would like to locate the user inputs and insert some credentials
I used Caché default login page as an example as it is a very easy one to serve.
http://localhost:57772/csp/sys/%25CSP.Login.cls
Take a look to YOUR login page to see if you really want to do this.
First, you do the Get() to fetch your login page

I have marked "CacheUserName" , "CachePassword" that you have to submit for Login.
@Robert Cemper thank you for the guidance
