Re: [Htmlunit-user] [ANN] HtmlUnit 2.34.0 released

[Yves <yv...@gm...>]

Hi,

for me, HtmlUnit is a great help to automate all kind of web-things. It 
may have its limitations, but concerning your
objective, the instagram login problem... don´t blame it on HtmlUnit... 
it is a fact that instagram and go do not want
phantom-users and bots that manipulate likes and other things. They make 
it very hard for bots these times and I
like it... of course, it is annoying, just think of google 
"robot-captcha" and others... i hate them, but this kind of
race will always exist and one time the bot is in front, sometimes the 
supplier of the webservice. Most services
like instagram, facebook and co. offer an API to make automated 
requests... of course only those functions are
available, that do not break their rules... so.. if you want to achieve 
what your describe here, don´t argue about
HtmlUnit if you don´t see the huge bunch of benefit it brings... take 
your brain and solve the login-problem yourself.

regards,
yves

p.s.
thanks for the update and the efforts to all contributors of HtmlUnit. I 
highly appreciate your work.
