Downloading the Current Membership List

EAA manages memberships on behalf of the IAC. EAA produces a daily membership report in CSV format and copies it to a secure download. As of this writing, DJ Molny, Doug Lovell, and Lorrie Penner have the password for the download server.

Unfortunately EAA's download portal, from SonicWall, does not provide an automated interface and in fact relies on JavaScript -- almost necessitating human interaction. However Doug Lovell was able to develop a Capybara script that emulates a human user in order to login, select the CSV file, initiate the download, and capture the file contents. This script is located in the directory: ~webmaster/scripts/members/iacMbrs

The suckit.sh bash script, located in ~webmaster/scripts/members, sets up the environment for the Capybara script and checks its result. Its output appears in ~webmaster/scripts/members/suckit.log.
