I need to download a page which is password-protected (php): http://marketsmart-real.pcquote.com/login.php?redirectLocation=getquote.php?symbol=NDX
When accessing the former page, it is requested a user and password via a form. Used AJS2 and password dosmil work fine. Now what I want is to emulate the manual login using LWP in order of getting the webpage contents. After inspecting the resulting form html code, I found that it has the following parameters: <FORM NAME="theForm" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="redirectLocation" VALUE="getquote.php?symbol=NDX"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username" SIZE=20> <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password" SIZE=20> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Login"> </FORM> So I've tried to get the page using LWP, passing some parameters using the POST method: use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $get_url="http://marketsmart-real.pcquote.com/login.php";; $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST=>$get_url); $req->content( redirectLocation=>"getquote.php?symbol=NDX", user=>"AJS2", password=>"dosmil"); $webpage=$ua->request($req)->as_string; print $webpage; The problem is that the result in $webpage says that the user or password are erroneous, but they are correct and work perfect by typing them manually. Am I doing something wrong when passing the parameters to the php script? I've also tried to pass parameters in the following form, unsuccessfully: $req->content("+redirectLocation='getquote.php?symbol=NDX'&+user=AJS2&+password=dosmil"); Any idea? Thank you Alejandro
