OK, I should write a script in Python for that. I think I can find info for the URL post, but I am lost when it comes to Zope; I don't know how to address Zope objects, their properties and methods from python, do you know of site for examples???
This would be a great time to check out The Zope Book for the basic overview of how Zope handles incoming HTTP requests: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current In a nutshell, Zope uses URLs to call methods of objects it publishes, eg: http://server/object/method will call method of object. It may also call method in the context of object, but you'll learn about that as you read the book. :-) Parameters are passed in by using standard POST or GET techniques. This is the very easiest way to interface with Zope. Once you understand how Zope works in general and how the product you're using works in particular, it shouldn't be too difficult to script an HTTP interaction that creates the behavior you're looking for. Go ahead and jump in and let us know if/when you encounter specific problems. Dylan
