Perhaps the page you are retrieving is compressed. Try out this code , i haven't checked it as i don't have internet access, but i hope it works.
use strict; use warnings; use Compress::Zlib; use WWW::Mechanize; use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller; # Initialize a new oblect my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); # Fetch the given URL my $url = "https://secure.secret.com/login/login.cfm?someParam=foo"; $mech->get($url); # Throw error if page not found $mech->success or die "Can't fetch the Requested page"; # Uncompress the page my $dest = Compress::Zlib::memGunzip($mech->content); # Initialize a new object to retrieve the form my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new(); my $form = HTML::Form->parse($dest,$mech->base); # Fill the form with login & password and submit $f->fillout(user=>'xxx',password=>'xxx'); $f->fill_form($form); my $request = $form->click(); # Fetch the next page $mech->request($request); # Uncompress the page $dest = Compress::Zlib::memGunzip($mech->content); # Retrieve the form & check for string $form = HTML::Form->parse($dest,$mech->base); print "$form\n"; exit 0;
I hope this works. Neeraj.
