Actually I have figured out what the issue was by checking in my browser
and for some reason when you
move through your account it doesn't show the new source of each page
but still shows the original
page. Think this is maybe an aspect of php that I don't know about.
Anyway my issue now is that
as you can see from my code below, the GET method is passed the
DETAILS_PAGE but after I do a getURI after the GET
that you can see the result isnt
http://www.mysite.co.uk/Main.php?sEvent=DRS&sAction=AmendDetails passed
in but
http://www.mysite.co.uk/Main.php?iCmsPageId=32
Any ideas?
Thanks
//MOVING TO THE PERSONAL DETAILS PAGE
System.out.println("New Get Target: " + DETAILS_PAGE);
GetMethod getPersonalDetails = new
GetMethod(DETAILS_PAGE);
client.executeMethod(getPersonalDetails);
System.out.println("Test by Getting the Personal Details
Page: " + getPersonalDetails.getStatusLine().toString());
System.out.println("Where are we after Getting Personal
Details: " + getPersonalDetails.getURI());
produces the result:
New Get Target:
http://www.mysite.co.uk/Main.php?sEvent=DRS&sAction=AmendDetails
Test by Getting the Personal Details Page: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Where are we after Getting Personal Details:
http://www.mysite.co.uk/Main.php?iCmsPageId=32

Hi All,
I have been trying to log into a website for the past few days but
with no luck using HTTPClient. I will now post all my findings so
hopefully someone can spot my mistakes. The form on the site has this
code:
<form onsubmit="return ValidateForm(this)" method="post"
action="?iCmsPageId=32&sAction=CheckLogin">
<p>Username</span>
<input type="text" id="sUsername" name="sUsername" value=""
maxlength="50" style="width: 200px;" /></p>
<p>Password</span> <br /> <input type="password"
id="sPassword" name="sPassword" value=""
maxlength="50" style="width: 200px;" /></p>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function ValidateForm(oForm)
{
var sError = '';
if(!Empty(sError))
{
alert(sError);
return false;
}
return true;
}
-->
</script>
<div class="button" >
<div class="buttonimg">
<img border="0" alt="" src="img/btn_box_arrow.jpg"/>
</div>
<div class="buttontext">
<input class="textsubmit" type="submit"
onmouseout="changeTextDecoration(this,'none');"
onmouseover="changeTextDecoration(this,'underline');" style="color:
rgb(226, 0, 110); text-decoration: none;height:16px;" value="Login"/>
</div>
</div>
so therefore i coded the following where LOGON_PAGE is the actual
page where login occurs rather than the root page :
PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod(LOGON_PAGE
+"?iCmsPageId=32&sAction=CheckLogin");
That should probably be
PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod(LOGON_PAGE);
authpost.setDoAuthentication(true);
I don't think that is needed.
NameValuePair action = new NameValuePair("action",
"?iCmsPageId=32&sAction=CheckLogin");
That should be:
NameValuePair pageid = new NameValuePair("iCmsPageId", "32");
NameValuePair action = new NameValuePair("sAction", "CheckLogin");
NameValuePair username = new NameValuePair("sUsername", "username");
NameValuePair password = new NameValuePair("sPassword", "password");
authpost.setRequestBody( new NameValuePair[] {action, username,
password});
and that should be:
authpost.setRequestBody( new NameValuePair[] {pageid, action, username,
password});
System.out.println("Login form post status: " +
authpost.getStatusLine().toString());
//System.out.println("Page Content: " +
authpost.getResponseBodyAsString());
System.out.println("Path: " + authpost.getPath());
System.out.println("Redirection: " +
authpost.getFollowRedirects());
System.out.println("Location: " +
authpost.getResponseHeader("location"));
Header[] responseHeaders = authpost.getResponseHeaders();
for (int i=0; i<responseHeaders.length; i++){
System.out.print(responseHeaders[i]);
}
System.out.println("Login Status Text: " +
authpost.getStatusText());
and the output on the console was the following at the very bottom .
It seems from the result of authpost.getStatusText() being 200 that
it posted ok but I know from tests with my browser that I should get
another cookie when I log in (even though it is deleted after log out)
but I never get that final cookie so it looks like the login has
failed and I also looked at the result returned from
getResponseBodyAsString() and its still the initial login page.
Actually, even when I changed the username or password to something
wrong it still returns 200 from
getStatusText() which I find strange! If it helps, using a plugin
for Firefox I can see that the Post that occurs when logging in using
Firefox is:
/Main.php?iCmsPageId=32&sAction=CheckLogin
sUsername=username&sPassword=password
so I suppose the questions are, is the PostMethod constructed
properly, does the submit button as seen in this code just below
require a name value pair when no name is specified in the html even
though that login button is the one that is pressed on the site,
<input class="textsubmit" type="submit"
onmouseout="changeTextDecoration(this,'none');"
onmouseover="changeTextDecoration(this,'underline');" style="color:
rgb(226, 0, 110); text-decoration: none;height:16px;" value="Login"/>
does the fact that javascript is required to provide validation with
ValidateForm(this) make a difference to the coding and finally should
the Post text got from a login using Firefox match the result from
authpost.getQueryString() ?
Any answers to these questions would be very welcome?
Thanks very much
