Question on request types supported

[bretcj7]

Will this support with minor changes a POST request that uses the asp.net __VIEWSTATE formdata parameter? Specifically looking to see if this will work with this site: http://findnra.nra.org/ on the search they have?

If not would like to help contribute to support different request types. Thanks!

Hi,
Tried using your scraper, I get the 'Magic happens...' text on the console, but nothing after that. 8081 just prints 'Cannot GET /' am I missing something?
Thanks.

@zacclery - you need to hit localhost:8081/scrape, as defined here: https://github.com/scotch-io/node-web-scraper/blob/master/server.js#L7

Also, on another note, this doesn't really need to be an Express server at all. If going to the /scrape route kicks off the scraping, why not just run the scrape via Node in the first place?

btw, totally unrelated to the issue that bretcj7 opened

Any ideas on how to do this on c9.io.. because I'm firing up the server using c9.io's terminal, with node server.js and its doing nothing after "Magic happens.."
Thanks :)
