1. getting data from password prot. webpage
Hello All,
I'm new here. It happened I decide to use Euphoria for commercial and free
programming.
This is really a great tool for a multiplatform developer. Great thanks for the
authors!
So, I have a question: is it possible to get data (the complete http page) from
a
password protected webpage? Ofcourse I know the login data and the page using
php POST authentication. I would like to make an automatic data processor for
that page, to have statistics.
Is it possible, what do you think guys?
Thanks in advance,
Mark from Hungary

Sure. Here's an extract of code I use, using eulibcURL.
atom curl_handle
atom errp -- curl error
errp = allocate(CURL_ERROR_SIZE)
if curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL) != 0 then
warnErr("Could not initialise libCurl\n\nContinue?")
end if
curl_handle = curl_easy_init()
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, errp)
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1)
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP)
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_PROXY, "")
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,
"C:\\EUPHORIA\\Direct_cookies")
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,
"C:\\EUPHORIA\\Direct_cookies")
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Opera/9.21 (Windows NT
5.1; U; en)")
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)
-- CURLOPT_CAINFO and CURLOPT_CAPATH would be used to point to certificates,
-- but the line above says not to verify the SSL certificate
-- put your logon sequence into form_data
if sequence (form_data) then
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, form_data)
else
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1)
end if
void = curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, url)
if sequence(form_data) then
showMessage(sprintf("Downloading file %s : %s",{url,form_data}))
else
showMessage(sprintf("Downloading file %s",{url}))
end if
buffer = curl_easy_perform_ex(curl_handle)
if atom(buffer) then
showMessage(sprintf("Error '%s' downloading file", {peek_sequence(errp,
CURL_ERROR_SIZE) } ) )
else
--process the data
end if
curl_easy_cleanup(curl_handle)
curl_global_cleanup()
free(errp)
