in thread Multiple Step Login in Perl

Can you explain a bit about what does the 'in-band' and 'out-of-bank' refer to?
From my view of the web page, the SOAP response only contains the '__REQUESTDIGEST' value, which shows in the POST content I caught using firebug.
Also, the other form parameters seem not changed, by comparing what was extracted from page source, with those caught from the POST content in firebug.

    sylph001,
    I have no idea what the original author intended by in and out of band but here are some interesting things I have ran into while doing website automation:
    • Cookies being set with Javascript
    • Authentication using an Ajax JSON post not associated with the "login" button
    • Redirecting to a 1 use URL which authenticated and then redirected to normal page
    I am sure there are others but the point was that not all authentication methods are straight forward.

    Cheers - L~R
