Hi, I am trying to develop a custom crawler to crawl websites that require form based authentication using Nutch v1.9 in Java. The HttpPostAuthentication feature of Nutch is followed to implement it.
The login parameters required for authentication such as html form-id, login post data(username, password) are specified as key-value pairs in a configuration file. What is required to identify the html login form(id or name of the html form)? Thanks, Tizy
