>>You will need to authenticate first, which will most likely set a cookie.
Yes, i gave that a try, but i'm possibly doing something wrong (or not doing
something). I only got a session cookie using that url:
Initial set of cookies:
- session.ID=ID32f64093ff0d1c
Perhaps you can check it? This is the code I'm using (possibly something
missing as i was not sure of the sequence):
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHostConfiguration().setHost(LOGON_SITE, LOGON_PORT, "http");
client.getState().setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.COMPATIBILITY);
client.getState().setCredentials(null, null, new
UsernamePasswordCredentials("xxx", "yyy"));
GetMethod authget = new GetMethod(args[0]);
client.executeMethod(authget);
System.out.println("Login form get: " +
authget.getStatusLine().toString());
Cookie[] initcookies = client.getState().getCookies(LOGON_SITE,
LOGON_PORT, "/", false);
System.out.println("Initial set of cookies:");
if (initcookies != null) {
if (initcookies.length == 0) {
System.out.println("None");
} else {
for (int i = 0; i < initcookies.length; i++) {
System.out.println("- " + initcookies[i].toString());
}
}
}
System.out.println(authget.getResponseBodyAsString());
authget.releaseConnection();
}
Constants are:
final static String LOGON_SITE = "www.racingpost.co.uk";
final static int LOGON_PORT = 80;
Thanks in advance.
