Re: Yahoo login with Httpclient

[Michael Becke]

Oops. Yes, I'm using HttpClient from the HEAD branch.  If you take out  
the references to HttpMethodParams and add the following for each  
method, it should work:

method.setRequestHeader("user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC  
Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/124 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.1");

You can also change the user agent to something else if you like.

Hi Mike:

Thank you for your sample code, I tried to compile it, but got the  
following errors :

I have mounted "commons-httpclient-2.0.jar" and "commons-logging.jar"  
on to my project in NetBeans, Have I missed anything else that has  
"package org.apache.commons.httpclient.params" ?

Well, I've tried a variety of things, but I cannot successfully login
to yahoo.  Attached is the code that I've been using.  It includes two
methods, one to simulate logging in from a browser with JavaScript
turned off, and another to simulate with JS on.  Perhaps someone else
can figure it out from here.
