I am attempting to write a Perl script that can login to my account at
capitalone.com,
grab my balance and available credit and email them to me. I did this
successfully with my
online banking, but Capitalone's login is a pain in the ass to wrap my
head around. It
redirects you through 3 or pages before an actual login screen and
sets cookies at each
one. On one of the last pages, it has JavaScript that generates some
more cookies. So far,
I've got:
<snip code>
I'm not sure how much of the above is actually necessary, but those
are the pages that you
go through when manually logging in. That last page is where it starts
using JavaScript to
generate cookies just to make sure that you have JavaScript and
cookies enabled in the
browser. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
Just a couple thoughts. Make sure you aren't violating user agreements, etc. Some instituitions could view this as a denial of service depending on how often you intend to run it, etc.
Because you are looking to wrangle the HTTP request/response headers, etc. there is a new (to me at least) extension for the Firebird (Mozilla) browser, Live HTTP Headers, that allows you to view and capture as you are browsing all of the actual response/request headers. This might help show exactly what is happening in the browser making it easier to mimic in LWP or whatever.

Very cool for web app developers...
That is a very cool plugin. It appears to work with Mozilla, also. I think that will help a lot. Thanks.
