I'm new to VB and am using 2008 VB Express edition. I'm trying to access a webpage's html using HttpWebRequest and that page requires cookies or it sends me to a login page. I found code examples around the web and have written the following code:

I think there is a problem with cookiecontainer (httpwebrequest)there are 2 main functions in my class, first getting a new form (a hidden token in form tag), and it should set the cookies (which not set) and then second function (doLogin) should login the form. why cookie is not set...?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to log into a website using httpwebrequest but website tells me that cookies are not enabled. I do have this,
Dim cookieCont As CookieContainer = New CookieContainer
Dim Request As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL)
Request.CookieContainer = cookieCont
I'm writing a program for my sister for a game which she plays online. It uses a WebBrowser control, and HttpWebRequest as well.The basic function is it searches through the website, we'll say the url is http://hersite.com/pet/* (don't follow the link lol it's just an example) where * is a number and this is how it searches.I use a for loop to cycle the numbers from a specified start to end, and use an httpwebrequest to fetch the html code, then process the string using InStr and .split()When I access the webpage using the WebRequest.Navigate, it takes me to the page correctly. However, if I fetch the source through the HttpWebRequest, it fetches the source of the login page, which the website redircts you to if you are not logged in.Is there a way to transfer the cookies from the WebBrowser to my HttpWebRequest?
Some examples:Get the HTML somewhere in here I need to add the cookie to the http requester, don't I?
Function GetHTML(ByVal strPage As String) As String
Dim strReply As String = "NULL"
Try
Dim objHttpRequest As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
[code].....
My knowledge of VB.Net is quite limited and I'm trying to jump in at the deep end, I'm trying to log in to a website (a game in which I play) that requires a username and password, they must be submitted used the POST method and then I need to be able to view the source of the page to obtain further useful data.
This is what I have at the moment and it isn't working for me.
Function postRequest()
Dim s As String = ""
Dim username As String = txtUserName.Text
[Code].....
1) How do I use cookies obtained from login to do subsequent requests? e.g. Login to a forum, then use the cookie obtained from login to access User CP and change settings.
2) How do I parse HTML via HttpWebRequest? Does mshtml work with HttpWebRequest? If so, how do I work with it? I thought of downloading the source code of the page I'm requesting into a richtextbox and do my stuff from there, but it sounds kinda impractical to me since I have to use regex to get the innertext of stuff (or not?).
its possible to set the webbrowser cookies as same than httprequest cookies.
Private Sub lol()
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create("http://login.ijji.com/postLogin.nhn"), HttpWebRequest)
request.CookieContainer = cokie

I'm having hard time to get a captcha to picturebox1 using picturebox1.load because it creates a new request or something I dunno and the captcha images is not the same as i see over webbrowser1. so what I want to be able to do is use the same webbrowser1 where i see the captcha and using this webbrowser to grab the captcha image using picturebox1.load or save it to hard drive and load it after, how can I do that? when i go to captcha SRC with the current webbrowser1 I see the correct captcha image but if there is another browser it will mess it up (Cookies?)how can I save or load the captcha with same webbrowser1 to keep the cookies so i can see correct captcha image?

Bolded are the pieces of data which I can extract, underlined is the one I'm not sure of.Anyway, how can I go about setting these cookies to an HTTPWebRequest (well, multiple requests but just the one object)?
I need to make 3 webbrowser (using the default webbrowser control) in my application, but I need them to use separate cookies. I want them to run independently. (ex : I put 3 webbrowser in my application, if I log in a site with a webbrowser, I'll be logged in the 3 webbrowser. I want that only one webbrowser will be logged in, not 3.)
I already found some site about it [URL]
I use this to delete cookies
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2")
works fine I checked the folder myself it deletes all .txt files.
But here Is the problem lets say I log into hotmail, Clicked the button to Clear my cookies. And navigate to log in page again, It will navigate me straight to inbox just as if I have cookies but the folder doesn't have .txt cookies file. just (index.dat). Is this means we must restart the program to this to take effect? (Works if you restart it) If so, how can I turn off webbrowser1 for a sec and turn it back? or something like that just to make sure it takes effect without me reopening the program.
I have a web browser named Webbrowser1 and I wish to have it clear cookies when I click a button.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to have a DateTime variable which is in a MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss format convert to dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss. I am using VS2008 Pro, and when I create a var:
dim dt as datatime = datetime.now It automatticlly defaults to MM/dd/yyyyy. No matter if I convert, parse, use globalisation or anything... convert to a string, which works with dd/MM/yyyy, but the minute i move it to a DateTime var type it goes back to MM/dd/yyyy I need to use this date/time to insert into a MS SQL Database and the colume is datatime type. But also is part of the app.I do not want this to be a string, I can do that, but I do need it to be a datatime in the correct format (dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss)

View 6 RepliesI'm having an issue trying to pull information from a specific website. I've asked about this once before, but had no luck through searches or responses.In a nut shell, the issue I'm having is trying to pull information from several URLs from a site.When I load the first URL and pull the information, it works just fine. But if I want to pull another from that same site, it acts like it is loading, but doesn't pull the information. In order for me to gather that information, I have to restart the program, but that beats the purpose.So, I wanted to see if the issue was related to cookies or something else the webbrowser control creates when loading a site. If this is the case, I'd like to clear out this information, or at least try it, after each time it pulls the information from the site.
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to get events of httpwebrequest? For example when I make a post request, then in the events procedure I should be getting something like this in the following order say
connecting to website
connected to website
posting request
request posted
waiting for response
receiving response
response received
disconnecting
disconnected
Or how to I implement something like this with the webrequest?

View 4 RepliesI have a crawling program that fetches urls to parse the html and came across an unusual error since I started this. For a specific set of urls from a site when fetching using HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse I get the error The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found This is unusual since it works when pasting it in my browser. Not sure if code is needed to posted but let me know if so.
