META tags, variables, creating sessions

intermission

Hi, im trying to write a program to check my email at www.thepub.co.za
If I submit a POST message to the login page I recieve the following
data...
================================================== ============================
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 09:45:55 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux)
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

44
<html><head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://mail.
c
thepub.co.za
4
/?s=
c

&Username=

aa**********@thepub.co.za
a
&Password=
c
bbbbbbbbbbbb
2d
">
</head><body bgcolor=white></body></html>

0
================================================== ===========================
(I have written over my username and password with aaa and bbb)

After recieving this data my browser will navitage to a url such as
the following:
http://mail.thepub.co.za?/s=3fcc6672...4d5a37363648b7

and end up at a URL such as the following:
http://mail.thepub.co.za/Session/242...g4/Hello.wssp?
What I need to do, is to determine from the data between the = = what
GET command to issue the server with...

Alternatively, if no one can help me with that, are there any programs
that can monitor communication on a certain port on your pc? that way
i can watch what my web browser is doing and mimic that.

Thanks for your help. Cheers

You might find it easier to work with http/1.0.

For heavens sake upgrade! Apache 2 became stable at 2.0.41 about two
years ago or thereabouts.
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
That doesn't make sense. The only good reason to use chunked encoding is
so you don't have to close the connection.
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

That's chunked encoding. You need to deal with it or use HTTP/1.0.
<html><head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://mail.
And that's just broken. Hey, there is something on-topic in the post!

Stop reinventing the wheel. Use a client library.

I dont appreciate being called a monkey or a chop buddy. Take your
frustrations out elsewhere. I dont know where else to post this type
of question. I thought someone here was bound to understand html
protocol.
I am simply asking for help.

For heavens sake upgrade! Apache 2 became stable at 2.0.41 about two
years ago or thereabouts.

I do not own this server. I am a client.

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

That doesn't make sense. The only good reason to use chunked encoding is
so you don't have to close the connection.

Because im not familiar with html protocol, I thought the best way to
do what i need to do would be to watch what my browser does and mimic
that.
I wrote a simple program which accepts a connection from my browser
and makes a connection to the server and sends all data recieved from
party to the other, while writing the packets to files. I should have
mentioned this but did not think it was relevant.

<html><head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://mail.

And that's just broken. Hey, there is something on-topic in the post!

There is a line break ( chr(13) followed by chr(10) ) at the end of
that line.

the packet appears in my previous post exactly as it was recieved.

I will intercept my browser specifying HTML 1.1 and chunked encoding
and see what happens.
If I dont get anywhere I will look around for a client library.

HAVE A NICE DAY! you a miserable KUN'|'
