[ale] Perl https download

[Robert L. Harris]

That's basically what I've come up with so far:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTTP::Request;
use strict;

#
my ($LoginURI)="https://www.datafeed.org";
my ($IndexURI)="https://www.datafeed.org/internal/querry?range=3day";
my ($User)="myuser";
my ($Passwd)="mypasswd";


# Load LWP class for "cookie jar" objects
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( );
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "lwp.cookie", autosave => 1);
$ua->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );
$cookie_jar->save;

# define user agent
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->agent("USER/AGENT/IDENTIFICATION");


# make request
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $LoginURI);

# authenticate
$request->authorization_basic($User, $Passwd);

# except response
my $response = $ua->request($request);
my $content=$response->content;

print "\$content :$content:\n";




# Get Second Page, Index to the data
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $IndexURI);
# except response
$response = $ua->request($request);
$content=$response->content;

print "\$content :$content:\n";




The first (LoginURI) works and I get logged in and the view of an internal 
page.  The second part (IndexURI) responds:

$content :<h4>Not logged in</h4><p>You must be logged in to view that page.</p>:

So it seems to not be passing auth or a cookie.  I tried putting the authorization_basic
right after the second request command but no change.











Thus spake Christopher Fowler (cfowler at outpostsentinel.com):
