hi,

I'm trying to automate my login to this site. It's encrypted, but I have OpenSSL, so that should be no problem. But, I keep getting 405 Method not allowed when using the code:

#! c:\perl\bin -w

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $request = POST 'https://www.saxobank.com/',
                  [ UserID   => 'myID',
                    Password  => 'myPasswd',
                  ];

my $page = $ua->request($request);

if ($page->is_success) {
    print $page->content;
} else {
    print $page->status_line;
}

And the same when using the code:

#! c:\perl\bin -w

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;

# form variables
my $UserID    = 'myID';  
my $password = 'myPasswd';  

# bot variables
my $agent      = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new;
my $res;

# URL's of importance
my $login_url  = 'https://www.saxobank.com';

&login($agent, $res, $cookie_jar, $UserID, $password, $login_url);

exit;

sub login($$$) {

  my( $agent, $res, $cookie_jar,
      $UserID, $password, $login_url) = @_;

  # build request for login web page (so we get the set of cookies)
  my $req = POST ($login_url, [
    cmd   => 'login',
    dest  => 'https://www.saxobank.com',
    UserID => $UserID,
    Password => $password,
  ]);

  # issue the request
  $res = $agent->request($req);
    if ($res->is_success) {
      print $res->content;
  }
  else {
      print $res->status_line, "\n";
  }
  # extract the cookies
  $cookie_jar->extract_cookies($res);
}

Any ideas about how to tackle this problem?
