myuserid7 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello, everyone. I'm writing a Perl script that downloads and saves to disk all of the MP3 files linked on a given Web page. For Web sites that do not require the use of cookies, I'm able to use LWP::Simple::getstore() without any problem. And I already know how to download HTML Web pages from sites that use cookies, using LWP::UserAgent->new(), HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(), HTTP::Request->new(), etc.
But I do not see how to do both at the same time -- in other words, download and store an MP3 file from a site that requires one to be logged in with a cookie. I tried using the HTTP::Request->new(), $ua->request(), but it does not work because the content type is not 'text/html', but instead 'audio/mpeg'.
Any ideas?
