Hello,

I have got this script to automate submitting a form to a website and getting the response back.
only this site is powered by .net and when I use user agent to get even the home page it is allways getting an
error and redirecting to an error page asperrorpath=...

I found out the if I turn of the cookies I get this message all the time - meaning that the site is storing id
and session on my computer as a cookie.

so I added the cookie functionality to the user agent but I can't seem to have the site store the
cookies on any cookie folder not the cutom lwp_cookies (see script)
and not he default microsoft cookie folder.


any suggestions???

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;

BEGIN { $LWP::DebugFile::outname = 'c:/ua_debug.txt' }
use LWP::DebugFile qw(+);

_____ tried that 
#create cookies jar to hold the cookies for this user agent
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(
                                    file => "c:/MyFolder/Cookies/lwp_c
+ookies.dat",
                                    autosave => 1,

                                   );

_____and also that
#create cookies jar to hold the cookies for this user agent
 my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
                   file     => "c:/Documents and Settings/owner/Cookie
+s/index.dat",
                   'delayload' => 0,
               );

my $ua;  #user agent
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);

  $curUrl ="http://www.mysite.com/Default.aspx";
  print "getting $curUrl\n";
  @curContent =  newGetRequest($curUrl);

sub newGetRequest() {

  my $myUrl;
  my $myRes;
  my $myReq;

  # get url to create a request from
  $myUrl=@_[0];

  # Create a request
  $myReq = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>"$myUrl");

  #pass any cookies that exsists with this request
  $cookie_jar->add_cookie_header($myReq);

  # pass request to user agents
  $myRes = $ua->send_request($myReq);

  # if response put some cookies get them
  $myRes->base("http://mysite.com/");
  $cookie_jar->extract_cookies($myRes);  # get cookies put by the site

     if ($myRes->is_success) {
                print  "Success in GET $myUrl" ;
      return $myRes->content;
     }else
         {
          print "Fail in GET $myUrl";
          }
