I have a site which I need to authenticate to. I do this:

The host site validates my password, sets a cookie, and redirects me
to the front page, which because I have a validated cookie, shows me
I am logged in. This works fine in a browser, but it seem "put URL"
is doing the redirect, but dropping the cookie. So I never actually
get logged in.
My question is this, can I make "put URL" keep the cookies? Or, as
an alternate solution, can I make the revBrowser upload files with
zero user intervention?
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Hi Bert,
I think you have to handle cookies manually. I just did some work with
cookies yesterday so here are some notes based on that experience.
I'm using 'post' rather than 'put' but after executing the 'post'
command I used libURLLastRHHeaders() to retrieve the header that the
server sent back. You will find at least one line that starts with
'Set-Cookie'.
What you are responsible for doing is extracting the cookie from that
line and creating a 'Cookie' entry in the header you send to the
server with each request. I put together a handler that takes
libURLLastRHHeaders(), extracts the cookies and stores them in a
script local variable (this code is for a library, you could easily
return the result) that I then assign to 'the httpheaders' property
before I send a request to the server expecting the cookie. Here is
what it looks like:
##===================
local sCookieHeader
## Parse header returned from a server and create a cookie header that
can be sent back: Cookie: cookie1;cookie2;cookie3;...
private command _StoreCookies pHeader
local theCharNo,theCookieLine,theLineNo,theOffset
put empty into sCookieHeader
put 0 into theOffset
repeat forever
put lineoffset("Set-Cookie:", pHeader, theOffset) into
theLineNo
if theLineNo > 0 then
add theOffset to theLineNo
put line theLineNo of pHeader into theCookieLine
delete word 1 of theCookieLine ## Set-Cookie:
put offset(";", theCookieLine) into theCharNo
if theCharNo > 0 then
delete char theCharNo to -1 of theCookieLine
end if
put theCookieLine & ";" after sCookieHeader
put theLineNo into theOffset
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if the last char of sCookieHeader is ";" then
delete the last char of sCookieHeader
end if
if sCookieHeader is not empty then
put "Cookie: " before sCookieHeader
end if
return empty
end _StoreCookies
##======================
Hopefully this helps.
