Re: Why does this https post request always return "404 Not Found"

[Jens Alfke]

This is pretty weird. After some experimenting, I narrowed it down to  
the value of the User-Agent header. I think the del.icio.us server is  
checking that header and returning a 404 if it doesn't like it. And it  
doesn't seem to like CFNetwork's default user-agent header, though it  
likes Safari and curl.


You can programmatically set the "User-Agent" header value to "Mozilla/ 
5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18  
(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20" and the result should  
work.


On the other hand, why are you trying to log into del.icio.us using  
forms and cookies as though you were a web browser? That site already  
has a pretty comprehensive API for applications to access it; you  
should use that instead. (That may in fact be what they're trying to  
tell you by blocking your request.)

Cool, it works. Thanks a lot.
But as to APIs, I really can't find the login API, or I would of
course use that instead of posting forms.
Can you tell me where the login API is?

Hmmm... Google not working?

-  lists the APIs for a  
variety of programming languages at the bottom of the page.


-  is an open source Cocoa  
del.icio.us client, so you should be able to see what they did.
