Re: Download a file by going to website and submitting a form

Hm.. I can't find the same values of __VIEWSTATE and __EVENTVALUATION in previous response.

I attach the full output from proximitron, after having done the following steps:

(start at http://insynsok.fi.se/SearchPage.aspx?bolagid=556&fromdate=2009-05-03&tomdate=2010-05-03&reporttype=2&culture=sv-SE)
1. Click at "Exportera data"
2. Click at "S�K"

These values are likely to vary between requests, so you will have to
extract them from the previous response.
