I am trying to solve the following problem. Two numbers appear on a website.
The user has to enter the gcd (greatest common divisor) and hit the submit
button. The catch is that the time limit is far too slow for any human
processes -- it must be fully automated.
That's an extremely weird set of requirements. What is it,
some kind of anti-captcha, proving that you're *not* a
human?
print firstNumber # Looks sensible -- first number probably correct
print secondNumber # Looks sensible -- also checked
print solution # Is indeed the correct gcd
res = br.submit()
content = res.read()
with open("FinalResults.html", "w") as f:
f.write(content)
# Unfortunately, I examine this file to find "Wrong Answer"
If the numbers are correct, there must be something wrong
with the way you're submitting the form.
Maybe the site is expecting some cookies or header values
that you're not sending?
Are you able to submit a result successfully by hand
using a browser? If so, you might be able to use Firefox's
debugging facilities to capture the exact response being
sent, including headers and cookies.
