Hello all,
I am kinda newbie in programming. I wonder anyone of you have worked on exporting AOL addressbook from a java program through httpclient. I am facing a problem as after logging successfully when i try to open the addressbook URL , it is redirecting me back to login page asking again for password. It should have given me the html of address book page as a result but it is giving the following response string.
<html><body><script>var targetURL = 'http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?seamless=novl
&sitedomain=sns.webmail.aol.com&lang=en&locale=us&authLev=2
&siteState=ver%3a1%252c0%26ld%3am01.webmail.aol.com%26rp%3aab%252f

function FindMainWindow() {
for (var w = window; true; w = w.parent) {
if (w.GetMainWindow)
return w.GetMainWindow();
if (w.parent == w)
break;
}

for (w = opener; w != null && !w.closed; w = w.opener)
if (w.GetMainWindow)
return w.GetMainWindow();

return null;
}

var mw = FindMainWindow();
if (mw && !mw.closed)
mw.top.location = targetURL;
else {
var w = window.open(targetURL, '', '', true);
if ((w == null) && (window == top)) window.location = targetURL;
}
</script></body></html>

Can anyone here help me out. I desperately need a solution.
Regards,
Priyanshu

If you're getting the login page again, I'd say that the login doesn't work. Instead of HttpClient, I'd use HtttpUnit instead, which make sit easier to work with the HTML you're receiving.
Either way, it's not about a SUn API, so I'm moving this to Other Open Source Projects.

hi ulf,
million thanks for ur reply
I also figured out that actually login isn't working. But can you suggest some way out. I did it successfully with hotmail and gmail. Something seems to be missing in my AOL login form.
Waiting for ur reply
Priyanshu

If the login doesn't work, you may have omitted some parameter that's required. I would use a tool like LiveHTTPHeaders (a Firefox extension) to observe which parameters are sent if you connect via a browser. Then you can duplicate all those in your Java application.

By the way, welcome to JavaRanch!

hello ulf,
i did all with livehttp headers. There is a cookie named auth which is set after authentication. How can i get this cookie? I am using client.getstate().getkookies() but it is not giving me this cookie. Suggest something my friend.

Priyanshu

HttpClient can deal with cookies in general, but I'm not familiar with it. Your best bet may be to study the documentation, and try to understand how to use cookies with HttpClient.

hi ulf,
i tried url rewriting and added jsessionid with my desired url. Now in my response i am getting some hexadecimal coding or whatever it is.
‹
Now can u tell if it can be converted back to some string form or something?

The session is independent of whether or not you are logged in. That you get a session cookie (or a jsessionid in the URL) does not mean that you are logged in, merely that the server has opened a session for you.
