Multiple Post Parameters with same name

Hi,

I have a site I am scraping and I am entering data. But there are post parameters with the same name but have to have different data. So I have assigned different variables to the parameters but the same variable is being assigned to the multiple parameters. I have named the two parameters differently. This seems to be the only reason for it as when I test the extractors the correct data is being extracted for the variables but not assigned. I was wondering if there is any way around this.

Thanks in advance,
Seamus

Hi Scott, I can get through

Hi Scott,

I can get through to the next screen but after a number of scrapes it is cutting me off. I am comparing the requests and that is the only thing that is different in between the requests. It really makes it unvisable to scrape the site. Any help would could give me regarding this issue would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Seamus

Seamus,

I think I'm going to need to know more about the scrape. Would you be willing to send it along via email?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott, Yeah I have sent

Hi Scott,

Yeah I have sent you a copy of the scrape in an email to you. Thanks for you help. I don't know how I can get around. Maybe with special characters or something so that it would be differentiated by screenscraper but not the server?

Regards,
Seamus

Seamus, While I look into

Seamus,

While I look into this further can you please confirm that your request will not work when you omit either of the two parameters?
