Form submit when action is a relative path about mechanicalsoup HOT 5 CLOSED

Oh this isn't so bad with urlparse.urljoin

browser.submit(my_form, urlparse.urljoin(my_page.url, my_form['action']))

Hi Oleh. Thanks for your message. Let me take a look.

Ah I remember this. The challenge is the form object doesn't know the url it came from. As a convenience I added a second parameter to browser.submit used to resolve action

browser.submit(form, page.url)

Example https://github.com/hickford/MechanicalSoup/blob/9df83dc607dad5d72bf0fb3c432d34253c43828a/example.py#L24

This deserves a mention in the docs.

page.url is not good, because action URL is different.

It definitely does not always work out to just send the POST request to the same URL.

Pardon that wasn't clear, it does a urljoin with action. Check the code https://github.com/hickford/MechanicalSoup/blob/9df83dc607dad5d72bf0fb3c432d34253c43828a/mechanicalsoup/browser.py#L30

Indeed it works exactly the same. Thanks and sorry.
