curl / wget login script help - only requires password .

[aus-city]

I am trying to get curl to log into a solar controller web page. Whats unusual, there is no username, just password.

The login url is http://ip.address/login.html

Here are the values of the page....

<h2>Welcome to the Xantrex Gateway configuration pages.</h2>

<p>Enter your password to sign in.</p>

<div id="content">
<div class="accordion">
<form class="formclass" action="/cgi-bin/auth.cgi" method="post">
<dl>
<dd><input name="password" type="password" id="password" /></dd>
<dd><input type="submit" value="Sign in" /></dd>
</dl>

I dont care if its wget or curl. Once your authenticated I have got all the URLs to dump the data. It works in a web browser and as long as you stay in that window / tab change the URLs to get6 the data. It seems to me that curl does not know how to submit...

Once your logged in, your kicked to http://ip.address/index.html

Trying to go to index.html without being logged in kicks to to login.html


Thanks!

Thanks!

Turns out the device uses javascript so I can't use curl or wget ;(

I guess i just don't understand. CURL can do a POST pretty easily. I mean that JS has to do something, like call another page. What does the JS function do? Does it call AJAX?

It's got buttons in JavaScript that need to be clicked then submitted ;(

Yeah, but that JS has to do something like an AJAX request. My thought is you figure out that AJAX request and then you can CURL to it.
