## Example of more elaborate stuff webdriver can do
# a script to automatically generate and fetch a nutrition summary PDF every day

=begin
browser.text_field(:name => 'user[email]').set('[email protected]')
browser.text_field(:name => 'user[password]').set('password')
browser.button(:name => 'commit').click

browser.goto "http://dailyburn.com/nutrition"

browser.link(:text, 'PDF').click

browser.select_list(:name => 'report_date').wait_until_present
browser.select_list(:name => 'report_date').select('Yesterday')
browser.button(:name => 'commit').click

browser.div(:id, 'report_download').wait_until_present
report_pdf = browser.link(:href, /http:\/\/s3.*/)

# download the file 
# open-uri RDoc: http://stdlib.rubyonrails.org/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/index.html
open(report_pdf.href, "User-Agent" => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.531.0 Safari/534.9',
    "From" => "[email protected]",
    "Referer" => "http://dailyburn.com/nutrition") { |f|
    puts "Fetched document: #{f.base_uri}"
    puts "\t Content Type: #{f.content_type}\n"
    puts "\t Last Modified: #{f.last_modified}\n"
 
    filename = f.base_uri.to_s.split('/')[4].split('?')[0]
    
    # Save the response body
    @response = f.read
}

File.open(filename, 'w') do |file|
  file.puts @response
  puts "\t got #{filename}..."
end

puts "\t logging out..."
