Hello,

I'm not able to authenticate to a logbook using my text based browser links, so I've started investigating with wget hoping solving the problem one will lead to a solution for the other. I've seen some examples on how to use wget to parse logbook entries in this forum, but my attempts keep returning the login page. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated. Here are a couple of the command line arguments I've tried:

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d "http://hostname/LOGBOOK?unamee=YYY&upassword=XXX" -O elog.txt

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d --post-data="redit=&uname=YYY&upassword=XXX&remember=1" -e robots=off "http://hostname/LOGBOOK" -O elog.txt

After these executions, my cookies.txt file remains empty. Running subsequent command with "--load-cookies=cookies.txt" still points me to the login page.

Many Thanks,

Chris

I've just checked that 'wget --no-check-certificate --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d "https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS?uname=uuu&upassword=ppp" -O elog.txt'

created a file cookie.txt. The file contains three lines of data if uname and upassword are a valid login, and it is empty (beside of three comment lines) if they are not a valid login (wrong user or wrong password).

Could it be related to the set-up of your particular logbook?
