<p>In our web-based personal finance application, we use [mod://WWW::Mechanize] to login to financial institution sites and download + scrape users' account statements from HTML pages.</p>
<p>Due to some of these financial institutions' security policy, we need to do the login + downloading from the end user's browser instead of from our servers.</p>
<p>Does anyone know something akin to Mechanize in Javascript? Kind of funny though to think about it, Mechanize's goal is to emulate a browser, and here we have the browser already. We just need to do some automation stuffs on it, i.e. login to a site, click some menu links, submit some form, and send the resulting HTML pages to our servers.</p>
