Im trying to craft a URL that once entered into the Browser URL and Enter is pressed it will auto submit the info for this site & then do its thing.. but im having a lil trouble though, can anyone please help me out on this...
this is what i got so far on it..


I looked at the source code of website & found the details to craft what i've got so far into the URL...
But I cant figure out how to have the Submit button Auto pressed from the Crafted URL though..??
Also I would like to figure out how to incorporate the selection of all the browsers being checked on that site as well into the crafted URL..??
So when the whole URL is entered into the Browser it Auto ticks all the browser boxes, enters the website URL into the forum box then Auto presses the Submit button..

Is there anyway to do this at all.. If so then how..??
 
It seems that the method that website uses to submit data over the form is post and not get. That means that adding attributes to the url should not work. You would have to have a similar form on your page with javascript automatically submitting the form to achieve what you want.

can you explain to me a lil more on why not a crafted URL will not work..??
why can i put a value at the end of so it will auto submit the data when that crafted URL is viewed in my browser..??
I dont have a page to have a JS form on to automatically submit the form to achieve what I want.
What else could I do..
is there a way to craft a JS URL that does what i'm asking at all..??
 
The Problem you have is that you are trying to submit data to a page that doesn't really read any information from the URL string to generate the screen shots.

The Form uses the POST method. Which is what most forms use. Its submission method that takes the contents of a form and pass them onto a script without actually using the URL string. The form contents are basically hidden.

The only reason the there is a url to the submitted site in the URL string is so they can retrieve the generated screenshots for you using that website's address as they probably store them in a DB.

What you can do, is just have a webpage on your computer that mimics the websites form, and then has some JS to automatically submit it when you open the page.

Basically you wan to copy there entire page, and add a JS function to submit the form using the onload event of the page.
