Well, I am getting discouraged with this. I have done everything
suggested on this thread. I am following the redirects, capturing
all the cookies in a cookie array, and setting the httpHeaders with
them, but I still can't complete a login successfully. I guess this
can get complicated, and it is hard for me to determine what the
server is looking for vs what it is getting. I did not set out to
create a general purpose http transaction engine, but that is what it
feels like I am headed for! Not really sure I can succeed at this by
Christmas at this rate!
With my very limited knowledge of internet protocols (but I learned 5
times as much as I knew before starting this thread, thanks to this
list) I might just have to try the altBrowser solution. I gave the
demo a try, but it crashed just at the point of downloading the data
--It did not say that it was compatible with my OS X 10.4 system
without going for the real license and the latest version though. It
is an expensive solution for personal use --costs as much as my DC
and more than Constellation, but I have spent several days on this
and I need a solution soon.
I don't want to keep bugging this list forever about this. You all
have been so generous with you advice already, and I thank you!

Dave & Dennis,
Those headers you report are a redirect which probably needs to be
followed.
What happens if you follow the URL indicated in the "Location"
field? That URL seems to indicate from it's name that is has
something to do with setting cookies.
Dave,
I am trying to find the cookies... In response to my login,
libUrlLastRHHeaders() returns this:

########## I am not seeing any set-cookie in there.
It kind of looks like it does not like my login request for some
reason.
These are the cookies captured by the browser after the login:
IFsess=1
QANON
IF_SessionCookie1
A=1
ASP.NET_SessionId
#########After I make the data request, a bunch more cookies show
up in the browser:
MAYA_SSO_4
QID
QCBASE
QB
PORTUSERVER
IF_SessionCookie1
IF_SessionCookie2
IF_SessionCookie2
############# Cookies seem to be flying all over the place, but I
just can't seem to find when/how to capture them. I must be
missing something very fundamental. :-(

I am not sure but it seems you want to set a cookie?
In that case read the cookie page from netscape:
http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
what you need to do in rev is to get the libURLLastHTTPHeaders()
it should contain a line similar to this:
This should be libUrlLastRHHeaders(). This returns the headers
received from the remote host's response. (libUrlLastHttpHeaders
() returns the last headers used by libUrl in a request.)
Set-Cookie: NameOfCookie=Value; path=/; expires=Wednesday, 09-
Nov-2006 23:12:40 GMT
You need to set the httpHeaders to this line in response to keep
logged in, showing that you have kept the cookie:
Cookie: NameOfCookie=Value
Beware: There are ways to have several cookies in the same
request! So you need to accommodate for that. Also if you get a
Set-Cookie header with a date before the current date, you
should delete the cookie.
To pretend to be someone else, you need to to set the "User-
Agent:" header to something else using libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders.
You should just set the httpHeaders for this as well.
(libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders is for setting a complete set of
headers including the request line, and is probably only useful
for things such as HEAD or OPTIONS requests.)
To add multiple headers to the httpHeaders, you can do something
like this:
put "Cookie: NameOFCookie=Value" into tMyHeaders
put return & "User-Agent: specialAgentString" after tMyHeaders
set the httpHeaders to tMyHeaders
Cheers
Dave
