Is this Possible?

Development Web Sources Discussion

Can I write Web Source Script for this website www.musicindiaonline.com ? This is the only website which has accurate and thorough db for indian music. It uses POST method form for search.
What should be the value of IndexURL and %s. If someone can tell me that, then I can go ahead and write the parsing script. Or if someone with better coding skills wants to write it, it would be a huge help.
Please help.

Never Mind. Got it working. Basically this is what I did, if anyone else is interested.

  1. Used Firefox's Live HTTP Headers plugin to find the query that POST form generated.
  2. Created an intermediate ASP page to generate the query and return the HTTP output.

Below is the code for ASP page.

<%
        Response.Buffer=true
 
    DataToSend = "q=" & Request.QueryString("album") & "&i=17&f=movie_name& searchsub.x=25&searchsub.y=6"
    dim xmlhttp 
    set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    xmlhttp.Open "POST","http://www.musicindiaonline.com/s",false
    xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    xmlhttp.send DataToSend
    Response.ContentType = "text/html"
    Response.Write xmlhttp.responseText
    Set xmlhttp = nothing

%>

I will post my scripts to Web Sources Scripts forum once they are done.
