Hello,
I''m trying to access authenticated web using mechanize 2.0.1.
Hopefully, Im not mistaken somewhere else, Im not really an IT expert,
so I''ll be verbose, just to be sure.
I was able to break through what I believe is BASIC AUTHENTICATON with
this code:
require "rubygems"
require ''mechanize''
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.basic_auth(''admin:'', ''kloktat5x'')
agent.get(''http://10.0.0.138:8080/'')
it''s accessing my router administration and it works fine.
Where I have problems is with web-based or cookie-based
authentication, it is this kind where you enter your usename and
password into a html form and hit some process or submit button.
Well, my code is this:
(please mind confidentiality of my personal information and be so kind
and do not misuse it)
require ''rubygems''
require ''logger''
require ''mechanize''
agent = Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) }
#agent.set_proxy(''a-proxy'', ''8080'')
page = agent.get ''http://www.hofyland.cz/''
form = page.forms.first
form.hlnick = ''skurt''
form.hlpsw = ''sptnkn34''
page = agent.submit form
output = File.open("output.html", "w") { |file| file
<< page.body }
and you can try what the output.html will look like afterwards, It''ll
be body of the login page - the script doesnt authenticate against the
web, it simply reloads the page and saves the body.
Is someone who have similar experiences, who may be able to solve this
kind of problem out there?
With my best regars

I figured one thing. What I'' trying to authenticate against is session based authentication (requiring cookies if I''m not mistaken), can this be where I''m failing. Am I supposed to managing cookies with mechanize somehow?
