Choosing A Webhost: |
Help needed in login: msg#00001lang.perl.modules.lwp
Hi! I'm trying to log in to a Web service using LWP::UserAgent but something goes wrong in my script. The code I use is the following: $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new(); push @{$agent->requests_redirectable}, 'POST'; $response = $agent->get($url); die unless ($response->is_success); @forms = HTML::Form->parse($response); $forms[0]->value('myUsername', $login); $forms[0]->value('myPassword', $password); $forms[0]->value('cookie', $cookieValue); $request = $forms[0]->click('Button1'); There are no warnings and as far as I can tell all is going fine. The site redirects me even to the proper page after posting the form but indicates that I haven't logged in to the service yet. For testing purposes I've tried giving a false password in which case the service behaves as it should, insisting retyping the password. I used the WWW::Mechanize module to do the same login and it works fine: my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->get($url); die unless ($mech->success); $mech->submit_form( form_number => 1, button => 'Button1', fields => {myUsername => $login, myPassword => $password, cookie => 'off', } ); Unfortunately using Mechanize doesn't solve my problem since I want to use the UserAgent directly and pass it as argument for the Robot.pm. Any ideas what might be going wrong in my first implementation? Thanks, Matti
