With HTML5, you will need to enable logging and pass the log file into the convert to utilities. Here are example instructions for capturing vlan creation code with PowerTool (Python is very similar):
1. Click in the browser window and press Ctrl-Alt-Q to enable a Record XML hyperlink.
Figure 1. Ctrl-Alt-Q
2. Click Record XML to start Recording
3. Click the LAN tab in the left menu click the All drop-down and select Pools.
4. Expand MAC Pools.
