How to figure out the login command? These two commands do not work: "C:\Program Files\wget\wget" --save-cookies cookies.txt "http://safari.informit.com/?FPI=&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=123" "C:\Program Files\wget\wget" --save-cookies cookies.txt "http://safari.informit.com/?FPI=&uicode=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=123" The cookies.txt is always empty: # HTTP cookie file. # Generated by Wget on 2005-07-21 07:55:47. # Edit at your own risk. Detailed log for the second command is: "C:\Program Files\wget\wget" --save-cookies cookies.txt "http://safari.informit.com/?FPI=&ui code=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=123" --07:55:47-- http://safari.informit.com/?FPI=&uicode=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&passwor d=123 => [EMAIL PROTECTED]&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&password=123.1 ' Resolving safari.informit.com... 193.194.158.208 Connecting to safari.informit.com|193.194.158.208|:80... connected.
