Ok, in work I use a particular system to look up part numbers for products. It's accessed in the browser and can only be accessed by company machines and I have a log on to use the system. Once logged in, I type in the part number and it prints a list into a rich text field with the part number, serial number, description and some other bits of info. It doesnt have the ability to search for multiple part numbers, so I literally have to type in the first, wait for the result, then the second, etc. What I'm looking to do is write some code that will loop through a text file and print out part of the result into the text file next to each part number. This kind of code I'm used to.
My problem however is that I dont know what the source code / function is for this company owned system. If I view the source I cant see a js file or anything similar with what I would think the script would live in, so assume its server side. If I watch the requests, I can see the parameters being passed, but I dont know how I could recreate this in code and obtain a result. Would be nice if it spat out some json, but I dont think its that easy :-)
Any pointers to get me going and areas I should look at?
Thoughts appreciated.
