Hi All,
I am trying to automate login to a website using the following code. but
it is not working ... any ideas?
----------------------
use HTTP::Request;
use LWP::UserAgent;
$http_cmd = "http://testertesting:80/login.html";
my %tags = ();
$tags{'action'} = 'calling page/servlet';
$tags{'id'} = 'User';
$tags{'username'} = 'user';
$tags{'password'} = 'passwd';
# Create a user agent object
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("MyApp/0.1 ");
# Create a request
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $http_cmd);
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content( %tags );
# Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
my $resp = $ua->request($req);
print $resp->content;

I doubt you want to post to login.html
> print $resp->content;
And what did it print, login.html?

Don't top post.
Then your script is fine. Either you are POSTing to the wrong address or
the target server is misconfigured.

Hi Brian,
I don't understand "Don't top post"? :-(
I wonder whether POST takes the form page url or the target page url
(login credentials verification page)!
If I give the form page url then I am getting page content as output
If I give the target page url then I am getting "500 read timeout"
Thankyou,
tester

It's the target url, so my all of my previous answer still applies.

Once you do have it working, you will almost certainly need a cookie jar
(instructions for the use of which you will find in the LWP docs). This is
because web sites typically use a cookie for persistent logins.

Internet Explorer cannot execute CGI scripts.

I assume: s/form/from/
This is a way:
Perl should be installed locally (on the machine where the browser is
running).
Make the link in the HTML-document point to an existing local file, like
file://C:/perl/eg/example.pl
If you see a flashing black box where you expected some output, add a
line to the Perl application that makes it wait for a while and/or a key
stroke, before returning.

I'm guessing that what you want to do is run a Perl CGI script on a
machine that does not have Apache installed.
If I am correct, you will need to have a web server running on the
machine where the Perl script is to be run as a CGI script.
