[WEB SECURITY] Scripting Question

[Dark Con <d4rkcon@xxxxxxxxx>]

This question might be a little offtopic for this list, so please let  
me know if I should direct it elsewhere.

I'm looking for a way to automate some client-side exploit testing. I  
want to write a script that loads web pages automatically in a real  
web browser. I realize that there are multiple other kludges that  
might do something similar (setting up the RefreshEvery Firefox  
extension for one), but the goal is to expand this to some other  
things, as well.

What I'm really looking for is a way to code UI interaction (or some  
libraries that might help with that). I've found some easy ways to do  
it in OSX (Automator makes things like this really simple), but was  
wondering if anyone on the list has ever done anything like this  
before and might be able to point me to any articles/books about the  
topic, or recommend which languages might have the best facilities for  
a project like this.

Thanks.
