How do you get past an https login screen (as opposed to a plain http (non-secure) one)?
I'm subscribed to the PGP users' mailing list at https://lists.cryptorights.org/mailman/private/pgp-users/ and wanted to download the archives at this location so that I could search them locally. I'm using ver 1.9 because 1.10 wouldn't compile for me, as I previously posted. I tried https://<my user name>:<password>@lists.cryptorights.org/mailman/private/pgp-users/ --something like https://jdoe%40mydom.net:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mailman/private/pgp-users/ which didn't work -- all wget downloaded was the login screen, index.html Using an idea from msg "Login string" Richard Emanilov Wed, 16 Mar 2005 13:38:09 -0800 I tried wget --http-post="[EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=mypswd" -R gz -nv https://jdoe%40mydom.net:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mailman/private/pgp-users/ Result: wget: unrecognized option [EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=mypswd' I read back in the list as far as msg "http authentication", Mathias Wittwer Tue, 17 Aug 2004 14:36:06 -0700, and tried: wget --http-user=jdoe%40mydom.net --http-passwd=mypswd -R gz -nv https://jdoe%40mydom.net:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mailman/private/pgp-users/ Screen output: 02:11:26 URL:https://lists.cryptorights.org/mailman/private/pgp-users/ [1543] -> "index.html.1" [1] -all I got downloaded was index.html, the login screen Last, I tried wget --http-user=jdoe%40mydom.net --http-passwd=mypswd -R gz -nv https://lists.cryptorights.org/mailman/private/pgp-users/ with the same result: Screen output: 02:14:39 URL:https://lists.cryptorights.org/mailman/private/pgp-users/ [1543] -> "index.html.1" [1] -again, all I got was index.html, the login screen. -There was no --https-user and pswd setting, unfortunately. Am I out of luck? -James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
