    get page source after login

    Hi,

    I want to get the source of a web page.
    The problem is that this page is accessible only after I login, using
    user name and password.
    I wrote a simple script to get a page source and it works as long as no
    login is necessary, but for the page I want I only get part of the
    source, while part is missing. The missing part is with the personal
    information.
    I have my username and password, but I don't know how to send them in
    the script, or what the other side is expecting.
    (I know the site uses cookies, to store the session information.)

    Any ideas ?

    TIA

    Alon

      Use Firefox's Live HTTP Headers extension to see how the communtication is
      handled.

      When a basic realm login box pops up, authentication can be simulated
      through an an Authorization header:

      fputs($fp, "Authorizat ion: Basic " . base64_encode(" user:pass") . "\r\n");

      Be aware that in some cases, sending the Referrer and User-Agent headers are
      also required.

          Sorry about my ignorance, where do I find "Firefox's Live HTTP Headers
          extension", is there any such thing available for IR too.

          Thanks.

                  This extension is only available for FireFox. Get a free copy from
                  Mozilla.org, it's great for development.
