Hi, I am trying to post a request to a website with my account to get information without physically logging onto the site. After posting request to the login page and getting in, I got to the redirected page which contains the form I needed for getting the info. In the form, there were two hidden inputs, one was for state, and the other was for validation, I could get both of those two values using GET method to the URL, with those values available, I tried to post my request. However, after posting my request, I got an Http 500, internal error exception. The response of my request indicated that the validation data was not correct. After getting on the physical website and looking through the posting request process carefully, I found that there was an intermediate stage where the page's URL stayed the same, but the page was showing "wait..." as the request was being processed, at this point, the validate value was changed while the state value remained unchanged. I also tried to go through the process by using loadrunner, loadrunner could get through the process successfully, and the recorded process showed that the intermediate stage indeed existed, with the same action and referer, the submit button value was set to "processing" in that stage and the validate value was different before the request was submitted (with all the necessary inputs filled in) and the intermediate stage. How can I get around of this intermediate stage and get to the final result page I wanted? I am sure this can be done since LoadRunner can do it without problem. My questions are 1. How to get the validate value from the intermediate stage (which I don't even know how to access using http client) 2. How to post it so that I can get the final result.
