Frank, You need to use so called form-based login. Have a look at this sample application:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/httpclient/src/examples/FormLoginDemo.java?rev=1.1.2.1&only_with_tag=HTTPCLIENT_2_0_BRANCH&view=markup If it does not cut it for you, let me know. I may try to quickly hack it up for you (provided I do not get stamped with work (the one that helps me pay the bills I mean)) Oleg On Wed, 2004-04-28 at 00:08, Min (Frank) Ni wrote: > Hi: > > I've been trying to use Httpclient to programmatically login to Yahoo, but I am not > sure how to do it right, I've tried to follow the sample tutorials and nothing > seemed to work for me, I've also searched the web for answers, but failed, it seems > to me that Httpclient is the closest match for what I am looking for, can somebody > please help me ? > > Some sample code of how to use Httpclient to login to Yahoo would be very helpful, I > imagine if I supply username and password to it, I would get a page showing I'm > logged in, I am trying to update my Yahoo Briefcase and Yahoo Geocities pages with > my program.
