Hi . I was wondering if anyone has done any scripting to automate
certain tasks (namely the datamart) with DHIS2. I came across this
utility for Firefox which was extremely easy to use and did pretty
much what I wanted.

Usually, I would do this sort of thing through a shell script, but I
have not really figured out how to login to DHIS2 through a command
line tool like wget. Basic HTTP authentication does not seem to be
supported, but I thought I had seen a commit about this some time ago.

Basically, I think it would be very useful to be able to
programatically call URLs, for instance to regenerate the datamart and
report tables on a period and scheduled basis. This iMacro extension
is free, but only the paid version can be used through the command
line or Windows Task Scheduler. Any one else have some ideas how this
could be done?

Regards,
Jason
