Hi All,

I'm trying some web automation wherein I have to login to an web application and check the contents of page which I can get after logging in. I tried to do it with LWP::UserAgent and WWW::Mechanize modules.

Using LWP::UserAgent I'm getting status code 302 Moved Temporarily and contents of the Login page instead of the Application Page which we should get after logging in. Following is the code snippet.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Simple;


## set URL
my $url = "http://abc.toronto.xyz.com:65342";
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

my $res = $ua->post($url, {username => 'rkadm', password => 'rkadm'} )
+;
$res->content_type('text/html');
my $response = $res->decoded_content( charset => 'none' );
print "Response Type = ".$res->content_type;
print "\nResponse Status ".$res->status_line;
## view

print "\nResponse = ".$res->content;

Using WWW::Mechanize after form submission, I'm getting the same contents of Login page instead of application page.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use strict;
    use WWW::Mechanize;

    my $username    = "rkadm";
    my $password = "rkadm";
    my $login = "Login";


    my $url = "http://abc.toronto.xyz.com:65342";

    # login to your photobucket.com account
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
    $mech->get($url);
    $mech->submit_form(
        form_name => 'loginForm',
        fields      => { username => $username, password => $password 
+} 
       

    );
  
    print "Response = \n ".$mech->content( format => 'text' );

   if( $mech->success() )
   {
        print "\n Successful hit.....\n";
   }

    print "Response = \n ".$mech->content( format => 'text' );

It should have returned the contents of application page after logging in. Any idea on this.

Thanks,

Ajay
