Some background: I developed a ColdFusion system that interfaces with eBay to allow a user to post auctions, manage them during the auction's lifetime (retrieving hits/bids/bidder email addresses etc.), and manage post-processing (emailing winners and losing bidders, ordering online etc.).
This effort was supremely possible because eBay did not maintain session between any interaction, be it GET/POST interaction etc., rather, you just passed the userid/password on every CFHTTP and it worked like a charm. This all changed recently when eBay started tracking sessions via cookies. I've tried to simulate the eBay signin mechanism, trying to capture the necessary cookie variables to subsequently pass to eBay to convince it that it is on the same session. I have not been successful in capturing the necessary cookie values to proceed any further. Purpose of this Post: I am looking to develop a set of templates that, when run, would return the cookie vars necessary to continue interacting with eBay in a single session. Is this at all possible or am I wasting my time??
