There are two fundamental problems.

1. Use of credentials method is wrong - this is for HTTP authentication, but archives.newyorker.com authenticates via Web form.

2. Your idea of what constitutes a session is different from the Web site. The User-Agent header clearly is not enough; most sites would carry a session in cookies. You would need to load Safari cookies into HTTP::Cookies::Safari and then feed that into LWP::UserAgent.

If that doesn't work (which is likely, since LWP has not kept up at all with Web APIs in current use), try WWW::Scripter or WWW::Mechanize::Chrome instead.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
