Technical notes
The actor handles CEDIA's ASP.NET WebForms search interface, which requires stateful form-submission with rotating __VIEWSTATE and __EVENTVALIDATION tokens. Pagination uses __doPostBack postbacks rather than URL parameters. A fresh session with CookieJar is established per country search to keep tokens valid throughout the paginated sequence.
Respects the site's robots.txt Crawl-delay: 5 directive with configurable inter-request delays.
