Login Facebook using Web-Harvest

[Parin]

I tried to login Facebook using Web-Harvest. I used the following xml code to
login

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config charset="ISO-8859-1">
<file action="write" path="homepage.xml" charset="UTF-8">
<html-to-xml>
<http method="post" url="[url]http://www.facebook.com/login.php[/url]" cookie-policy="browser">
    <http-param name="email">myemail</http-param>
    <http-param name="pass">mypassword</http-param>
</http>
</html-to-xml>
</file>
</config>

The homepage.xml (output) file contains the xml code for the login page of
facebook along with the following lines:

<h2 class="main_message" id="standard_error">Cookies Required</h2>
<p class="sub_message" id="standard_explanation">Cookies are not enabled on your browser. Please adjust this in your security preferences before continuing.</p>

I tried all the allowed values for cookie-policy in the http processor of the
xml code but was unsuccessful.

In my experience what that means is that your login request was not
successful. Get firebug and see exactly what requests browser sends to
facebook during login process. Then do the same thing.

Hi nakoned,

I saw through firebug what requests the browser sends to facebook during login
process. The first 2 requests were as follows:

1. post request to https://login.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1
2. get request to http://www.facebook.com/home.php?

So I modified my code as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config charset="ISO-8859-1">
    <http method="post" url="[url]https://login.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1[/url]" cookie-policy="browser">
            <http-param name="email">myemail</http-param>
            <http-param name="pass">mypassword</http-param>
    </http>
    <file action="write" path="loginpage.xml" charset="UTF-8">
        <html-to-xml>
            <http method="get" url="[url]http://facebook.com/home.php?[/url]" cookie-policy="browser">
            </http>
        </html-to-xml>  
    </file>
</config>

Rest of the requests were for png files, css files and js files.

Even after modifying my code the output was the same. Please correct me if I
am wrong.

Thanks.
