Hello,
maybe, you will find it nice to see the communication between your browser and the web application.
Webscarab is such a proxy, which acts as a man in the middle. (If someone knows another/better proxy, please tell me.)
As curl is able to use proxies too, it will be very useful to look at a successfull browser communication first.
Then use curl to produce the same steps.
Greetings,
Alexander

I need to write a script to log into http://www.ghcommunity.info/maintenance/ but I can't get it to work. The <form> section of the page's source code looks like this: <form action="/maintenance/login/login" method="post"> <table width="300" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0 auto;"> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100" height="24"> <div align="left">Suite Number:</div> </td> <td width="200"> <div align="left"> <input id="user[login]" maxlength="15" name="user[login]" size="20" type="text" value="" /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100"> <div align="left">Password: </div> </td> <td width="200"> <div align="left"> <input id="user[password]" maxlength="15" name="user[password]" size="20" type="password" value="" /> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <input class="smallbutton" type="submit" value="Login" /> </p> </form> Based on that I tried curl -F "user[login]=XXX&user[password]=YYY" http://ghcommunity.info/maintenance/login/login But it just gave me a message that I was being redirected to the login page. Later, I tried the trick of copying the source to a local file and changing POST to GET to see what the resulting URL looked like, and I found that it used "%5B" and "%5D" instead of "[" and "]", so I tried this: curl -F "user%5Blogin%5D=XXX&user%5Bpassword%5D=YYY" http://ghcommunity.info/maintenance/login/login In this case, though, it just returns an error page, the same as I get in my browser if I try to navigate directly to http://ghcommunity.info/maintenance/login/login. Any ideas what might be the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-users FAQ: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-users FAQ: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-users FAQ: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.htmlReceived on 2012-10-25
