Default WebEPG Grabber - using post data and javascript

Is there any documenation on using Post in WebEPG? I have two grabber files that require POST to submit the date information. At present I can only get one day from the site.

The first site is HBO (http://www.hbosouthasia.com/southasia/schedule). It requires you to select the date on a calendar and then press the GO button to display another days schedule. No date info appears in the URL. I can get it to work using POSTDATA in TVXB, but the same format doesn't work in WebEPG.

The second site is Zee Cafe (http://www.zeecafe.tv/ProgrammeGuide.aspx?PageId=1). It usings javascript when you select a new date on the calendar to post another days data. Can you execute a javascript using POST in WebEPG?

I am working on developing a full EPG for all India channels for MP (eventually!), so any help would be greatly appreciated.

POST works the same way GET does, with the same format. The important thing is to find the POST format. The best way to do this is with a local proxy. Try Paros (also search for other posts I have made on this)

fixed Got my Post data working

James I got it to work! I did download and use Paros (after taking a while to figure out how!). However, it turned out my Post/Get commands were fine. I had stupidly entered the variable dates incorrectly. I had put [DD/MM/YYYY] instead of [DD]/[MM]/[YYYY]. DUH! Still thinking like TVXB

I do want to assure you that I had tried to search the forums first before posting. Of course POST and GET are useless search terms. So I tried searching for Paros and only got a few hits and could not find any explanation of how to use it. Once I installed Paros I found their home site and figured it out. A link or some help would have been great.

All my channels are working in WebEPG now. Thanks so much for all your help.
