Re: Secure login (https + Certificate) using Perl

Why are you getting the hidden field value out of the form, then putting it back in? The whole point of WWW::Mechanize is you don't have to do stuff like that.

As to why it doesn't work, the answer is probably in the HTML you took out to show us the "shortened" form. Is there any JavaScript involved, for instance?

Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...

Hi, thanks for your reply. How would I get the ADMIN-ID using WWW::Mechanize? And I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!! It wasn't in the HTML I took out. I used 'LiveHTTPHeaders' to see what's realy being sent and received. That's when I noticed that the last character of my password is cut off. I ajusted my script, deleting the last character of my passwort and BANG! it works. :-) Finch.	[reply]

`>How would I get the ADMIN-ID using WWW::Mechanize?` You don't have to. The module handles hidden fields for you. Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...	[reply] [d/l]
