Cookies

[wassup]

hi. is there a way to convert a FF/IE cookie into using it with
mechanize? cuz, i want to login a site that uses recaptcha, and
mechanize can't login that way, so i was thinking of using a cookie
that would make the site think i was already logged in, skiping the
login process.. is this possible? if yes, how can it be done? thanks
in advance!

Have you tried to use HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla (For firefox) or
HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft (or IE) provided at CPAN.org?

According to description it should deliver what you want.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla;

$HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla::SQLITE = '/usr/bin/sqlite3';
my $cookiefile = "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/q17733ib.default/
cookies.sqlite";

my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new;

$m->cookie_jar($cookiefile);

$m->get("http://www.whateverpage.com/test.php");

etc
etc
....

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;


my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(file => "/root/.netscape/
navigator/bbj1xsox.default/cookies.txt",autosave => 1,);

my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new( cookie_jar=> $cookie_jar);

$m->get("http://www.whateverpage.com/test.php");

it is likely that you need the cookie that comes from logging in to the
page itself. if you use an old cookie from a previous login it may not
work because the site timed out the session. so you have to login fresh
with the user/password in the auth part of the request.
