Login not working

[Flicky]

Hi,

Lately I have been using httpunit to do some automated programming on Yahoo. I have written a program to login and check Yahoo mail . following is the code...

----------------------------
WebConversation wc = new WebConversation();
WebRequest request = new PostMethodWebRequest( "http://mail.yahoo.com" );
WebResponse response = wc.getResponse( request );
WebForm form = response.getFormWithName("login_form");
form.setParameter("login","<<yuor userid here>>");
form.setParameter("passwd","<<yuor password here>>");
WebResponse response2 = form.submit();
----------------------------

This code works fine.
Now if I change the URL from http://mail.yahoo.com
to http://geocities.yahoo.com, I keep on getting the login page again. Has anyone tried such thing or faced any problem like this before??

help me......

Thanks

Are you using Tidy.jar or nekohtml.jar?

kathy,
I am using nekohtml.jar. Have you tried this?? Is this working for you??

Didn't have a chance to try it until tonight.  I usually login to frames stuff so that's a little different.

However, the following works for me to login to both yahoo and geocities.  It's slightly different than yours.

        WebConversation wc = new WebConversation();

        // Process main page
//        WebResponse response = wc.getResponse("http://mail.yahoo.com");
        WebResponse response = wc.getResponse("http://geocities.yahoo.com");

        // Login
        WebForm form = response.getFormWithName("login_form");
        form.setParameter("login", "your login");
        form.setParameter("passwd", "your password");
        response = form.submit();
        System.out.println("Title: " + response.getTitle() + ";");
    System.out.println(response.getText());

I do the getTitle and the getText when I'm testing to see that I get to the correct page.

Let me know if this works for you.
