I would REALLY appreciate if you could look at the specifics. I can see the Cookies going back and forth just fine but something isn't working. What I captured was 4 http requests going back and forth doing some type of handshaking, however on the 4th one I get back a page saying "Your browser must support cookies and javascript" instead of the page that I see when actually using the javascript and I can't see why.

I really appreciate any assistance.

Hi,

I've built exactly that with httpclient already. The best thing to do is to use either Ethereal (free), or HttpAnalyzer (free 30 day trial) to capture the packets sent by your browser when accessing your contact list normally. You can then use that info to compare what your packets look like when running through your code (again capture them with one of the products mentioned).

In general you'll need to use Browser compability for the cookie mode, and then let httpclient's cookie handling handle those for you. I don't recall the specifics to logging in to AOL off the top of my head, but can go back through the code I have that is working if you need anything more specific.

Good Luck,
Jeff

Hi,

I'm trying to write a java class that will in essence log me in to an aol account (providing user name/password) and grab the contact list. I see there are lots of tools to buy out there that claim to do this but I want to try to do it myself.

I've used Fiddler to try to see what is going back and forth to the client but can't seem to get the login portion working. Does anyone have experience doing this or something like it such that they can gave me some tips?

Thanks,
Frank
