Example

The following example shows the use of openUrl() method.

var wPage = require('webpage').create(); 
wPage.settings.userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 
   (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36'; 

wPage.onLoadFinished = function(){ 
   console.log('Entering on load finished'); 
   console.log(wPage.content); 
   console.log(JSON.stringify(wPage.settings)); 
} 
wPage.openUrl("http://localhost/tasks/a.html","POST", wPage.settings);
