    Flight search automation

    I'm trying to use mechanize to fill in a "find a flight" form and then
    get back the results, but I'm not sure how to make it wait until the
    results page appears; the response after submitting the form is the
    "please wait while we are searching for your flights" page. Any ideas ?

          Sorry, I've no idea.. not even sure if they use java or whether this
          matters. Can you guess by trying, say, http://www.travelocity.com/ ?
          Expedia and Orbitz have also a waiting page, hopefully I can figure
          them out once I have one working.

              If you look at the <<TRAVELOCITY >> generated HTML @Travelocity

              **Snippet
              function on_load()
              {
              var finurl = "AirSearch.do?S EQ=115108633384 85232006";
              window.location .replace(finurl );
              **
              It is basically a re-direct.. you should be able to re-request an HTTP
              to the base path from the original query w/ your new URL for the
              session result.
              Base URL= http://travel.travelocity.com/flights
              So now you would request
              http://travel.travelocity.com/flights/AirSearch.do?SEQ=11510863338485232006
