Creating cookie for authentication
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:57:56 -0400
I am trying to create a cookie so that I can then use wget to obtain
an image embedded behind a login page.
I am working with this HTML log in page:
http://pastebin.com/CP9YsbTr
Now I am trying to create a cookie with this command:
curl -silent -c inxcamcookie --form username=admin --form
password=thisismypasswd --form Submit=Login
http://10.10.10.191/login.cgi
curl -silent -c inxcamcookie --form
"username=admin&password=thisismypasswd&Submit=Login"
http://10.10.10.191/login.cgi
Based on the man page I believe both are functionally identical,
though I have not been successful in either to confirm.
However in doing either I get this error:
http://pastebin.com/G1542av5
I originally tried to do a curl -d but I believe that with a
Content-Type: multipart/form-data that a -f is absolutely required.
With the same syntax using -d the web server issued an incorrect
credentials error, presumably because there was "no data" in the
fields when I did a Submit/Login.
This is my first post to this list and I have read through the Curl
Mailing Etiquette so I believe this is up to spec. Please let me know
if otherwise.
