Say Andrew,
Did you ever get this problem figured out? I seem to be having a similar situation. I try to do
this negotiation which works just fine from netscape, but somehow, though for the first few steps
the session ID stays the same, at one point I get a new session Id back to LWP and the content is
the original password prompt page again. Any feedback is appreciated.
One of the things I was wondering was whether I needed to somehow use the "proxy" method or some
proxy specific facility to make this go. I really want to do things step by step, but if there's
a trick that makes it work for now, it would be better than nothing. I read the two replies on the
group too. Nothing helps so far. Again, any response is welcome.
Sincerely, Xeno

Subject: Crypt::SSLeay - session support?

I think I've missed something *really* basic with this:
Im trying to access a secure web site using Crypt::SSLeay and
it connects ok and Im trying to authenticate myself to this web site -
which I can do using a POST operation passing my username/password.
So far so good.
But then all subsequent requests I make, the server thinks I
haven't entered my username/password. Now the doc pages of
LWP Agent say that each request/response pair is independant of
past/previous ones - so how can I log onto a secure web site and access
its information - dont i need some sort of session???
My code is pretty simple so far:
use HTTP::Request;
use LWP;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
#
# Post my username/password to the website via its form. Now I know this works on \
some level # because if i enter the password wrong it says something along the lines \
of # access denied. If I get it right the response is a 302 (Moved) and redirects me
# to some web page - which I can't access cause it asks me for my password again!
#
my $res = $ua->request(POST 'https://www.somesecurewebsite.com/login.html',
[ username => 'my user name',
password => 'my password']);
#
# Now assuming the above post worked (which it kind of does) - id now like to access
# one of the web pages on the secure site under my login above....
#
my $res = $ua->request(GET \
'https://www.somesecurewebsite.com/YouCanViewThisIfYouLogIn.html');
#
# But the secure web server just thinks Im not logged in and returns a web page here \
saying 'please log in' #
any help appreciated!! thanks,
bye
