I am trying to write a cURL script that authenticates with a site and then downloads a file. The issue is that posting to the form action directly does not work. The reason for that is because the website generates a token when you access the log in form and passes it in via the URL.
So, I think to complete this, I would have to do two cURL hits: 1. One to hit the original URL. Handle the redirect. Get the token out the of the URL. 2. Hit the second URL passing the token in as a GET parameter as I POST in the log-in form vars. I know how to do #2 but am not sure about #1 or how to complete #1 and #1 in sequence in the same script. Any pointers anyone can provide? _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
