How do I programmatically use a web site that requires logging in?
• Log into the site using NS and quit NS. The relevant cookie should now be in the cookies.txt file. See this faq for details. • If necessary, copy cookies.txt to your development machine. • Use HTTP::Cookies and LWP::Simple to develop perl scripts which can download from the site using cookies.txt as your cookie-jar. You can use this methodology to develop “screen scrapers” for other sites or to develop automatic test suites for your own sites.
