Ruby Programming Language :: Net::HTTP Logging in / Persistent sessions problem


	Net::HTTP Logging in / Persistent sessions problem I am able to login to a website at authenticate.domain.com but when I attempt to visit panel.domain.com it appears the http session has been lost. Code: Net::HTTP.start('authenticate.domain.com',80){\|http\| log = http.post('script.php',params) puts log.body } Net::HTTP.start('panel.domain.com',80){\|http\| puts http.get('/index.cfm').body } -------- So, what could be the problem? Either the second Net::HTTP.start call is beginning a new session or the first call is forgetting a vital cookie. Anyone? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In your code you are basically getting the body of the response only. Session or cookie information should be in the header... Basically in a Net::HTTPResponse object you have the Net::HTTPHeader mixed in. Try looking at the both api's and you'll see it clearly...

If you'd like to have your cookies automatically saved between each request, check out WWW::Mechanize. http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/ -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/ Enrique Comba Riepenhausen wrote: > In your code you are basically getting the body of the response only. > Session or cookie information should be in the header...

After doing some studying I understand a bit more now. Thank you! I've got my script logging in but the session still doesn't persist. I auto-follow a few redirects and I end up back where I was (not logged in). I did notice Net::HTTP's get_fields('set-cookie'). Do I need to use set_content_type('set-cookie',@@cookie)? where @@cookie = get_fields('set-cookie') # of the first login attempt? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Then what does get_fields('set-cookie') do? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
