[Htmlunit-user] php cookies/session

[Yuri U. <yur...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've tried 1.3pre2 and 1.2.3, and there is one problem. I'm trying to
browse a php web-site which requires logging in, and it seem not to
see the HttpClient's cookies. If I take Mozilla or IE and submit
login/password, I'm redirected to a "login ok" page.  If I repeat the
same with WebClient, I'm thrown to the main page with "login failed"
state.  HttpClient is 2.0.1 (I've used 2.0-rc2 from the htmlunit
distro, but the problem persists).

Why could htmlunit (or httpclient?) behave so?  Is there a way to look
into cookies somehow? I'd grealy appreciate any help...

Thanks,
Yuri.

The cookie support is all handled by commons-httpclient and it works 
fine for all the sites that I test.  How is authentication working?  Is 
it form based, basic or digest? (or something else entirely?)

When I'm debugging problems like this, I usually use a sniffer to look 
at the exact traffic going back and forth.  I use the open source 
sniffer Ethereal which is available for a whole slew of platforms -

Thanks, I've found what it was... The php server (4.3.6) dropped
cookies if they were not in single line. I've modified
HttpWebConnection to set HttpClient's single cookie mode and it
worked.

Regards,
Yuri
