title: How to automate IE/Firefox to download some files from a https: website with Javascript links?
body: <p>Some of my users download several pdf files from an internet website regularly. They'd like to automate the process to save a few minutes every day, and most importantly, to minimize errors.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <a href="http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mechanize</a> but failed as mechanize does not process javascripts. Since the download links in the remote site are all triggered by javescript, I am looking for solutions to automate the browser itself. Any recommendations?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>https remote server</li>
  <li>login and search are FORM POST</li>
  <li>file download link are JavaScripts </li>
  <li>on win32</li>
  <li>IE or Firefox</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
