See my example here for how to
use LWP with a site that does cookie style logins. | [reply] |
You should be able to accomplish this using the LWP module's methods.
All you will need to know is the username and password for their
my.yahoo.com page.
If you are asking to check a person's my.yahoo.com site *without* knowing
their username and password, well, see merlyn's post above and shame on
you, you 7331 h4x0r! :)
However, if I am understanding your question correctly, and you do have
the username and password, you are able to create such
"headless" clients using the LWP module. I know that there are some
examples in the documentation
Good Luck

All decision is left to your taste

Heh, heh, you could build a database to store the login information of whomever you will be grabbing the content for, then write a program that will query the database each time for each user and grab the appropriate content for display. Not likely that you'll get anyone here to help you test this, however. | [reply] |
Have you noticed the little hack that Yahoo use to stop their mail pages from cacheing?
There's an id in the query string that's randomly generated every time you click on the mail button, so the URL is effectively new (and your browser won't recognise it and pull it from the local cache).
Neat, if a little clunky.
