Hi everybody,

I have a little question:
I'm working on a program that should work with a site, but in order to get to the page I need to enter username and password on a login page.
Can someone tell me how I should implement this?
I know the address of the page, the one that requires the password, but I don't know how to get to the next page (the one after that with password [the redirected page]). All I need is the source of the page.
If someone have any suggestion it would be very helpful.

Thank you all.

If the page is meant to be accessed by an application, it probably supports basic html authorization. You should investigate the HttpWebRequest Class.

And the corollary, if it's not meant to be, then it will be complex to side step that.

Seems to me like the obvious path is to host a web brwoser control and use the DOM to populate the username/password, and press the login button.

Solution 1

You supply the username and password of course. How are you trying to use this? What type of application? ANd, do you own the page in question? This sounds very suspicious.

Look, assume that you want to get the source code of your page in facebook or something, you should enter user name and password somewhere in the code to get refference to this page, my question is what should I do to get the source.
hope that I'm clear now.
Thank you.

By the way I'm using C# as a language.

You want to get the source of a Facebook page? Navigate to the page and use your browser's context menu to view the html source.

This still seems a dubious request.
