in thread How do I access a password protected site and access data?

Hi,

To get you started I have provided a little example:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use WWW::Mechanize; my $targeturl="http://www.yourdomain.com/login.asp"; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' ); $mech->get($targeturl); $mech->success or die $mech->response->status_line; $mech->form_number(1); # if the login form was the first form on the p +age $mech->set_fields( username => "MyUserID", password => "Fak3Pa55w0rd" ); $mech->submit(); print $mech->content(); # print content

I setup an ASP page with a form on it to process the login. The above example logs in and prints out the content of the page following the login.

Hope this helps

Martin
