Hello all. I'm trying to write a script that logs in to a web page that has the user
name and password input boxes as part of the initial web page. I've tried doing a
"POST" with the user name and password declarations and values in the request to no
avail. Here is my code:
my $myUserAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$myUserAgent->agent("Automation/0.1");
my $myRequest = HTTP::Request->new(POST =>
"http://online.wsj.com/login?URI=%2Fdocuments%2Fdatabank.htm";);
$myRequest->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$myRequest->content("login=xyz&password=123");
my $myResponse = $myUserAgent->request($myRequest);
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I've double-checked the form input field names and
they are "login" and "password". Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.
I've ordered the new PERL & LWP book but it hasn't gotten here yet so I thought I'd
post this message.
Thanks,
