JB,
Thanks for your help with this.
I have crawled through these pages trying to get this login working.
I think I am close. When I use the following script in a login
button, it does not return any errors in it. If I change
usemyusername to something that is not my user name, then it spits
out the login page again. So I would think that means it took my login:
ON mouseUp
set the text of fld "Display Quotes" to URL ("http://
ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/mayaLogin?m_PR=4&m_CBURL=http://
www.quote.com/qc/default.aspx")
put offset(quote&"Z""e&" value=",fld "Display Quotes")+11
into zPointer
put char zPointer to zPointer+9 of fld "Display Quotes" into zValue
POST ("m_PR=4&m_CBURL=http://www.quote.com/qc/
default.aspx&m_CBERRURL=http://www.quote.com/qc/
default.aspx&m_LANG=1&Z="&zValue&"&m_AL=4&m_DL_FREE=1&m_WS=&m_U=usemyuse
rname&m_P=usemypassword") to URL ("http://ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/
mayaLogin")
put it into fld "Display Quotes" --what the post returns
END mouseUp
When I execute the following script in an UpdateQuotes button, it
should give me the data I want, but it takes me back to a login page:
ON mouseUp
set the text of fld "Display Quotes" to URL ("http://
www.quote.com/qc/downloads/download_ascii.aspx?FG=%
7BB7002E03-75B6-42D3-891B-EED31E739C4D%
7D&option=BidAsk&fileFormat=text&delimiter=tab")
END mouseUp
This means that I now need to accept and respond with cookies,
because if I disable cookies in the browser, I can not log in there
either. So now I will tackle the other thread responses about
cookies to see if I can figure those out --although I would not be
shy about accepting any further help from the list. This is all
first time stuff for me. The miracle is that Transcript and this
list is even letting me get close --with my current level of
ignorance. I hope some others can learn a few things from this
also. :-)
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,
I had a quick look at the webpage, and it seems like you'll have to
proceed in
sections, since the html form is slightly more complex than
expected (among
other things it has a parameter "Z" that seems to be a session
number) :
- 1 use "get url" with the url you gave us to grab the original
html code of the
log page
- 2 parse that code to get the parameters + values of the "form1" form
- then use the transcript POST command as follows to get the code
of the next
html page (after loggin)
POST
"m_PR=4&m_CBURL=http://www.quote.com/qc/downloads/
default.aspx&m_CBERRURL=http://www.quote.com/qc/downloads/
default.aspx&m_LANG=1&Z=1135080270&m_AL=4&m_DL_FREE=1&m_WS=&m_U=<your
member name>&m_P=<your password>" to URL "http://ldbauth.lycos.com/
cgi-bin/mayaLogin"
I can't test any further as I'm not logged on this site (and don't
want to).
Best,
JB
