Re: [Edbrowse-dev] Login failure with 3.5.1

hi Chuck,

I think this syntax:
> javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl13$LoginButton','')

is a microsoft aspx trying to do ajax.  I don't know what to do, but I'm 
interested in figuring it out and am (still) working on it.

I had an idea for how to support pages with ajax.  I wonder what Karl, 
Chris & Adam think of this?   I'm interested in bringing in 
information from the javascript debugger that is available as part of 
spidermonkey.  jsdbgapi.c is like the JSAPI only with ways of 
addressing stack frames - I think?

So I think if you are running Chuck's site and stepping through moments in 
time, you would eventually hit a stack frame that contained all the 
parameters to doPostback, all assembled and ready to go (hopefully).  A 
'step' command would work neatly with the CLI. If a full URL is sitting 
there in memory just for one step's worth of time before being sent to an 
ajax routine as a parameter, we could grab it, browse it and work with 
the output.  So we don't have to "support ajax" if we can deconstruct 
ajax and do what the ajax would do, but turn-based and CLI rather than 
constant, chatty network activity for little bits, and with a 
graphical bias.  What do you think?

thanks
Kevin
