I have a perl script that I use to retrieve web pages. The script has the ability to use/send cookies, if the server requires them.
For example, in my perl script, to set the user name and password cookie for a website, I would use the following: my $cookie_grabber = "http://www.website.com/cgi- win/login.exe?username=tony&password=perl"; (the rest of the perl program is not shown) Usually this will set the cookie info that I need, and then I can grab all of the web pages that I want, as I present the results from this cookie before each web page "get". Also, I can test the $cookie_grabber URL to see if the login part works by putting the URL in a browser and hitting return. A successful login will take me to whatever page normally follows a login. However, I can not figure out how to use this with a program called "login.asp" where I can put the entire form command on one URL line, like: http://www.website.com/login.asp?a=2&userid=tony&password=perl Here is the form that is being used: <form ACTION="login.asp?a=2" METHOD="POST" NAME="LOGIN"> Login Name <input TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="10" NAME="USERID" value=""><br> Password <br> <input TYPE="PASSWORD" SIZE="10" NAME="PASSWORD" value=""><br> <input TYPE="checkbox" NAME="REMEMBER">Remember Login Info?<BR> <br> <input TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Login" NAME="SUBMIT"><br> </form> I have tried every variation of this, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Tony D
