linebased text text html,web scraping - POST URL Encoded vs Line-based text data via Python Requests...

I'm trying to scrape some data from a website and I can't get the POST to work, it acts as though I didn't give it the input data ("appnote").

When I examine the POST data it looks relatively the same except that the actual webform's POST is called "URL Encoded" and lists each form input, whereas mine is labeled "Line-based text data".

Here's my code: (appnote) and Search (Search) are the most relevant pieces I need

import requests

import cookielib

jar = cookielib.CookieJar()

url = 'http://www.vivotek.com/faq/'

headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

post_data = {#'__EVENTTARGET':'',

#'__EVENTARGUMENT':'',

'__LASTFOCUS':'',

'__VIEWSTATE':'',

'__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR':'',

'__VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED':'',

'__PREVIOUSPAGE':'',

'__EVENTVALIDATION':''

'ctl00$HeaderUc1$LanguageDDLUc1$ddlLanguage':'en',

'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$CategoryDDLUc1$DropDownList1':'-1',

'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ProductDDLUc1$DropDownList1':'-1',

'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$Content':'appnote',

'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$Search':'Search'

}

response = requests.get(url, cookies=jar)

response = requests.post(url, cookies=jar, data=post_data, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

I also tried it using wget with the same results.
