My objective is to log in to this site using httpclient: http://www.racingpost.co.uk/horses
The first problem is that I can't see the connection between the following request (gleaned from my browser + proxy) and the login form you see at the top of the page. Evidently this GET request (why no POST?) has an encrypted parameter string. Where has it come from? Where has the parameter name come from? Is it anything to do with this, which is in the page?: <IFRAME SRC="https://reg.racingpost.co.uk/cde/login_iframe.sd"; etc. Can httpclient cope? Here's the request: 2. Then log in using the button at the top: ------------------------------------------ REQUEST ------- GET /horses/?MIval=rp_reg_init&TMP_CK_CK=%7Fv%7Dw5u%2F2%23%24%22VML%5BCUGBJY HTTP/1.1 Host: www.racingpost.co.uk User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011128 Netscape6/6.2.1 Accept: text/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/html;q=0.9, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif;q=0.2, text/plain;q=0.8, text/css, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en-gb Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9 Accept-Charset: utf-8, * Keep-Alive: 300 Cookie: session.ID=IDa200fff6130d72; PermRpLogin=httpclient --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
