Hi Experts,
I am new the httpclient API. I am trying to access a webmail and grap
the email from the webmail. I found out that httpclient API can do
that, the web page login page is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<!-- ??? -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=euc-jp" />
<title>SquirrelMail - ????????????</title><script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">
<!--
function squirrelmail_loginpage_onload() {
document.forms[0].js_autodetect_results.value = '1';
var textElements = 0;
for (i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++) {
if (document.forms[0].elements[i].type == "text" ||
document.forms[0].elements[i].type == "password") {
textElements++;
if (textElements == 1) {
document.forms[0].elements[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}
}
// -->
</script>
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
/* avoid stupid IE6 bug with frames and scrollbars */
body {
width: expression(document.documentElement.clientWidth - 30);
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#0000cc" vlink="#0000cc"
alink="#0000cc" onLoad="squirrelmail_loginpage_onload();">

What I want to do is to put the username and password in the webpage
and click submit
My code is as follows:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod(FRONT_PAGE);
NameValuePair usr = new NameValuePair("login_username",
username);
NameValuePair psw = new NameValuePair("secretkey", password);
authpost.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[] {usr, psw,
action});
client.executeMethod(authpost);
System.out.println("Login form post: " +
authpost.getStatusLine().toString());
System.out.println(authpost.getResponseBodyAsString());
authpost.releaseConnection();
}
I know that this doesn't work because of the following question?
1) How to click the button with httpclient API?
You don't. You work out what would happen if the button were clicked in
a real browser and then have your Java program perform that action.
You seem to be almost there. You have omitted the two hidden fields -
WireShark (open source - v. good). It looks like it 1) sets a flag that
