I want to navigate to a page in a web app from a desktop app. "No problem", I hear you say, "just fire up the default browser with the correct URL". However, the web app uses ASP.NET Forms Authentication, and the users don't want to see the login page because they have already authenticated with the same credentials in the desktop app. That sounds simple enough, all I have to do is emit an HTTP POST from the desktop app with that fakes the postback from the web app's login page. The web app will then set its authentication ticket and session state cookies, return them to me, and I will store

I'm working on a project that involves some basic web crawling. I've been using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse quite successfully. For cookie handling I just have one CookieContainer that I assign to HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer each time. I automatically gets populated with the new cookies each time and requires no additional handling from me. This has all been working fine until a little while ago when one of the web sites that used to work suddenly stopped working. I'm reasonably sure it's a problem with the cookies, but I didn't keep a record of the cookies from when it used to work

Since WebBrowser in C# shares cookies with all other instances of WebBrowsers including IE I would like for a WebBrowser to have it's own cookie container that doesn't share any cookies that was created previously in IE or other instances. So for example when I create a WebBrowser it shouldn't have any cookies. And when I run 2 instances of WebBrowsers they have their own cookie container and don't share or conflict cookies with each other. How can I achieve this ? You could do this per process using the InternetSetOption Win32 function: [DllImport("wininet.dll", CharSet = System.Runtime

I'm creating a client to visit a website and log in + do some tasks automatically, however they recently updated their cookies to (for whatever reason...) contain a comma inside their identification cookie. So for example, the Cookie will have a value similar to this: a,bcdefghijklmnop The problem is, according to msdn you can't use a comma nor a period inside a cookie's value. What I'm looking for is a way around this limitation, some way to make .net's Cookie's work nice with the commas. I've found that the server does send a 'SET-COOKIE' header to the client and I'm guessing that's what is

I'm trying to scrape a website that has user authentication. I am able to do a POST to send my login and stores a cookie. However, after the login I get a 403 error when trying to access the protected page. $url = "https://some_url" $CookieContainer = New-Object System.Net.CookieContainer $postData = "User=UserName&Password=Pass" $buffer = [text.encoding]::ascii.getbytes($postData) [net.httpWebRequest] $req = [net.webRequest]::create($url) $req.method = "POST" $req.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8" $req.Headers.Add("Accept-Language: en-US") $req.Headers

I want to tunnel through an HTTP request from my server to a remote server, passing through all the cookies. So I create a new HttpWebRequest object and want to set cookies on it. HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer is type System.Net.CookieContainer which holds System.Net.Cookies . On my incoming request object: HttpRequest.Cookies is type System.Web.HttpCookieCollection which holds System.Web.HttpCookies . Basically I want to be able to assign them to each other, but the differing types makes it impossible. Do I have to convert them by copying their values, or is there a better way? Here's the

How do I handle cookies with paths other than "/". An HttpWebRequest object returns these headers: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Transfer-Encoding: chunked Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:22:53 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Expires: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:22:53 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Server: nginx/0.7.41 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9 Last-Modified: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:22:52 GMT Pragma: no-cache Set-Cookie: cookie1=c1; path=/; domain=site.com Set-Cookie: cookie2=c2; path=/content; domain=site.com; httponly Set-Cookie: cookie3=c3; path=/admin; domain=site.com;
