Hi,
I've built exactly that with httpclient already. The best thing to do
is to use either Ethereal (free), or HttpAnalyzer (free 30 day trial) to
capture the packets sent by your browser when accessing your contact
list normally. You can then use that info to compare what your packets
look like when running through your code (again capture them with one of
the products mentioned).
In general you'll need to use Browser compability for the cookie mode,
and then let httpclient's cookie handling handle those for you. I don't
recall the specifics to logging in to AOL off the top of my head, but
can go back through the code I have that is working if you need anything
more specific.
Good Luck,
Jeff

Hi,
I'm trying to write a java class that will in essence log me in to an aol
account (providing user name/password) and grab the contact list. I see there
are lots of tools to buy out there that claim to do this but I want to try to
do it myself.
I've used Fiddler to try to see what is going back and forth to the client but
can't seem to get the login portion working. Does anyone have experience doing
this or something like it such that they can gave me some tips?
Thanks,
Frank
