Any ideas of how to figure out what kind of image file it is?

I'd like to be able to get a copy of an image that I've seen on a webpage into a image editing/display program. The HTML fragment associated with the image looks like: <img src='images/theimage.png' border='0'/> my Perl code to download and save the image looks like: my $browser =...

How do I get a copy of the CheckForm handler code? I presume that it is somewhere on the HTML page. What language is it written in? Thanks in advance...

I've written an application using the LWP library that monitors a particular web site for changes in information. This involves having the application log in to the site and repeatedly navigate through a series of web pages to see if any information changes on them, responding appropriately to...

Success! After looking over the available add-ons I downloaded HttpFox. Very helpful. The main problem ended up being the sort of thing that usually trips me up - a stupid syntax error. I had left out the quotes around the names of the hidden input fields in the POST. The corrected code...

No. You misunderstood me. I ran three tests. Before each test I cleared the cookie jar so that the "starting state" of the test would be the same. I did not clear the cookie jar in the middle of a test. The tests were as follows: (1)Get the login2.asp page: my $response =...

I have now tried what (I think) you suggested, but am still having problems. Here are the details. Let's call the login page 'https://www.thesite.com/login2.asp'. If I get this page using my $response = $browser->get('https://www.thesite.com/login2.asp'); then two Set-Cookie lines come back...

Ok. I'll try what you suggested wrt following the Location header and let you know how things go. Looking over some of the notes that I made when I was first trying to get things working, your suggestion is making a lot of sense. I pretty much know barely enough to do useful things in Perl...

It's been a while since I posted my original message on this topic. I've made some progress since then, but I am still having some problems. I initially focused on the second non-optimal way of dealing with the login problem: manually logging and then (also manually) copying over the cookies...

I'll definitely look into Ospy and see what it can do - sounds like it is what I need. Regarding the 302 message - when I get this I always get redirected to the the logon page, not the page that I know I should get to when I actually have a successful logon. Also, as in the case where I POST...

Yes. I have tried it both ways. If I send the POST to login.asp (instead of login2.asp), then I get a response header with status line '302 Object Moved'. The content is a short HTML page with a link pointing back to login2.asp. So something is not quite right here. That's why I'm imagining...

I am trying to write a Perl application to monitor data on a password protected web site. I am using the Perl & LWP book by Sean Burke as a reference. The website uses a https: login page to get a user id/pin. Once logged in one can navigate around and get various kinds of information that is...
