UC Davis has several services which have absolutely no relation to HTTP, but nevertheless require you to login over the web in order to take advantage of these services. Among these services are news.ucdavis.edu, and Moobilenet (the UC Davis wireless network).
Here's a simple script (that seems to work) to automate the login. #!/bin/bash COOKIES_FILE=$(mktemp /tmp/cookies.XXXXXX) chmod 600 $COOKIES_FILE curl --user username:password \ http://www-wls.ucdavis.edu/private/cgi-bin/wls.pl \ --location-trusted --cookie-jar $COOKIES_FILE rm -f $COOKIES_FILE This one's targeted for moobilenet. Just change the URL for usenet. This supercedes any previous version using lynx that I've posted here before. Lynx just wasn't working for this one. --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
