Hi Jin,

You may want to try to set

_eventId=submit

in your post.

Not definitely sure this will help, but, it's worth a try.

Hi there all -

Was wondering if you can give me a hand with a strange issue I am experiencing. I am trying to login through CAS using a ruby script in order to screen scrape some data on a protected webpage.

What I did was issue a get request on login, take the lt=<ticket_id>, and post to login with lt, username, and password.

Here is the code:

uri = URI.parse(cas_login_url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.use_ssl = true
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path)
req.set_form_data({'lt'=>ticket, 'username'=>username, 'password'=>password})
res = http.request(req)

I've logged most of the activity going on here and I am posting to the correct URL, good on the ticket ID, username, and password. The response I get back is simply an empty string. I'm not sure why this is happening, when I issue a get request I can see the html coming in easily.

Possible reasons:
Do I need to set any http header like user agent, referer, etc (I think these are done for me automatically since a get request runs fine?)
Something to do with SSL?
Something to do with CAS rejecting ruby?

Any help is greatly appreciated -

Jin
