[...] We recently released a very slick Firefox extension at Wesabe. It was written by my colleague Tim Mason, but I helped figure out one small piece of it—namely, how to do binary multipart POSTs in Javascript—and since it involved many hours of hair-pulling for both of us, I thought I’d share the knowledge. (Tim says I should note that “this probably only works in Firefox version 2.0 and greater _and_ that it uses Mozilla specific calls that are only allowed for privileged javascript—basically only for extensions.”) [...]

Hey Trebonius,

Hmm, so that should all work fine for you – especially since you’re logging off. Would you mind sending me the log file at support@wesabe.com? We can take it from there… thanks!

One issue I’ve had is that a recorded session (Wells Fargo) doesn’t always wait for the file download. It submits the request for the Quicken file, but if the site is slow to respond, it sometimes moves on before the server manages to send the file.

I recorded the session in such a way as to download both my savings and checking accounts during a single login. When I run it, sometimes both of them get uploaded, sometimes just one or the other, and sometimes it misses both of them.
It also frequently seems to stall on the post-logout page, and I’ll have a full progress bar at the bottom of my screen until I restart Firefox. This may have something to do with keeping Firefox open for days on end.

Hey, Lon,

We can merge them for you — drop us a line at support@wesabe.com.

Fraser — great idea — we’ll add that.

funny, my issue is with president’s choice financial as well… how’d you get them merged?

Thanks for fixing my issue re. double accounts. Turns out that it was partly my goof – I selected ‘different’ institutions when I set-up the u/l and then the firefox extension (i.e. “President’s Choice Financial” and “President’s Choice Financial (English)”… or whatever).

Accounts have been merged and fixed now – thanks for the prompt response.

One request now though: under the accounts in the firefox extension there are two options: upload now & remove from list… how about a third one: “rerecord download process”? That way we can be comfortable that the account is the same, but we can address recording issues.

[I'm nervous to delete the one account to rerecord the process for fear of account duplication!]
