Please don't repond to this if you are guessing or just don't know the
answer.
I'm trying to login to a backend system running Java/Tomcat. I create a
HttpWebRequest with the login data and do a POST. This works fine. The
HttpWebResponse content I get back is just javascript "window.location=xxx"
(with normal html around it). The HttpWebResponse also contains a java
session id cookie. Fine so far.
I want to go to the new location (assume I parse it out); I create a second
HttpWebRequest with a new cookie container and add the java session id
cookie to the request:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(xxx);
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
request.CookieContainer.Add(response.Cookies); // add in java session id
cookie
When I submit this request, I end up back at the login page...sort of like
it doesn't think I've logged in. I've verified that the outgoing request
contains the java session id cookie. I've also played around with setting
some of the request properties (e.g. timeout, content-type, user-agent,
request.accept, etc), but no luck.
It accepts my login; any idea on why when I create a second request, the
request is not valid? Anything I'm missing here? Thanks.
