Re: WWW::Mechanize form submit w/ password failing

If all else fails, compare what a Real Browser sends over the wire with what WWW::Mechanize sends. Adapt your code until the bytes your code sends are indistinguishable from what a Real Browser sends.

A convenient tool are the Mozilla HTTP Live Headers for Firefox. Likely, other browsers have similar tools.

For WWW::Mechanize, see LWP::Debug on how to enable a dump of the incoming and outgoing data.

The sledgehammer tool for tracking what really goes over the wire would be Wireshark.

Thanks for the tips! In Chrome I was able to see that the password was being encrypted in the post after I looked at the network tab in the Developer Toolbox. Thanks for getting my brain on the right track!	[reply]
