Hi

I am trying to connect and get a WebResponse of a CONNECTED user.
For that, I should first connect to the webSite, but I can figure out how.
I already read like 20 pages about cookies and stuff and still cant understand this stuff.

The site im trying to connect is http://www.esl.eu/ - http://www.esl.eu/login

Here is my code

public static string getString(string link)
        {
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(link);

            // Set credentials to use for this request.
            CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
            //?? cache.Add(new Cookie(

            request.CookieContainer = cache;
            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

            // Get the stream associated with the response.
            Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();

            // Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format. 
            StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);

            response.Close();
            readStream.Close();

            return readStream.ReadToEnd();
        }

Some help please ?

Logged in!
You have successfully logged in. A cookie has been stored on your computer. If you wish to logout, do so using the link in the top right hand corner of the page.


proceed

Try this....

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

      //You should be able to POST directly to the login page without first doing a GET,
      //however this tips off crafty web admins that automated logins are taking place.
      //This may also solve issues if they set a cookie on a GET request

          s.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
          s.Close();
        }

        {
          GC.KeepAlive(resp);
        }
      }

    }

    private static byte[] GetFormData(string Email, string Password)

      const string login_format = @"email_id={0}&password={1}&duration=forever&x=73&y=13";

      string login_line = string.Format(login_format,
        Email,
        Password);

      return System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(login_line);
    }



  }
}

I have verified it works with "My Teams". You will receive a not_logged_in string if you are not logged in, else a "My Teams" panel.
