Being new to wget (I'm using GNU Wget 1.10.2 for Windows) I'm trying to
log into www.openbc.com. It works perfectly with a browser, but I can't
get it to work with wget.
As www.openbc.com page source contains
<input type="text" name="login_user_name" class="login" />
<input type="password" name="login_password" class="login" />
I'm trying
wget --no-check-certificate --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies
cookies.txt --post-data
"login_user_name=<MyRealUserName>&login_password=<MyRealPassword>"
https://www.openbc.com
and I'm receiving
--22:06:33-- https://www.openbc.com/
=> `index.html'
Resolving www.openbc.com... 213.238.59.20

But the cookie file is empty:
# HTTP cookie file.

# Edit at your own risk.
Browsing index.html, I'm finding two strange messages:
"Your browser cookies couldn't be recognized." and
"You need to have cookies activated to log in."
I tried adding wget options
--cookies (just in case --no-cookies was has somehow been set) and
-U "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107
Firefox/1.5" (just in case if openbc.com checks the user-agent)
But no change.
Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!!
