I regularly scrape content from sites that require cookie information for
auth. When I am on a dev machine using VS.NET and test my scraping tools,
the returned content indicates that the webpage login is me.
Question #1: When I deploy my tools to a server, what user does the system
"impersonat e" for the purposes of browsing?
Question #2: Could I log into the user account described in Q1, use IE for
awhile, persist cookies via "Remember Me," and scrape normally?
Question #3: Is it possible to copy all of the cookie files and whatnot from
a workstation that's chock-full-of-auth-cookies to a place on the server and
have that user impersonated on scrapes? What needs to be copied and where in
the directory structure should I place it?
Question #4: Am I correct that if I were to build a Windows Forms app that
conducted scraping operations, it would impersonate/ use the cookie setup of
the currently logged-in user?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
I'm new to ASP.NET and have been developing a small app at work to test
Forms Authentication. When running on my development machine (using
http://localhost/TestApp/Login.aspx for example) everything works fine -
that is, a successful (authenticated) login grants access to other app pages
and the authorization cookie is saved as expected on the local machine.
Unfortunately everything turns ugly when trying to 'test' the app...

Dear forum friends,
With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
