DynDns login help wanted

[Baz 8755]

Hi,

Due to DynDns now insisting that you log into your account once a month I decided to try and get tasker to do this job.

I have tried HTTP GET with "https://account.dyn.com/entrance/" -post-data "username=USER&password=PASS"

but the response I am getting back seems to suggest this is not working.

Ideas anyone

Cheers

Baz

There are often hidden fields in a website's form. Look at the full source of the page and find all the fields. This is easiest on a desktop, but tasker's HTTP Get will work also. Its also possible you need to use cookies. You can get them from the headers.

Oh, you'll probably need to do a POST to send the form data rather then a GET.

Hmm....

I tried HTTP Post but made no difference

I found a solution someone wrote for LINUX (I am fluent in LINUX but HTML :( ). I also has a LINUX NAS box but it's implementation of wget does not support HTTPS. Anyhow here is their LINUX solution

USER=YOUR_USERNAME_EMAIL
PASS=YOUR_PASSWORD
rm cookie-dyn-com
sleep 1
MULTIFORM=$(curl -k -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6" -e "https://account.dyn.com/entrance/" -b cookie-dyn-com -c cookie-dyn-com "https://account.dyn.com/entrance/" | grep -m1 multiform | tr '=' '\n' | tail -1 | cut -d "'" -f 2)
sleep 1
curl -k -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6" -e "https://account.dyn.com/entrance/" -b cookie-dyn-com -c cookie-dyn-com -d "username=$USER&password=$PASS&iov_id&multiform=$MULTIFORM" "https://account.dyn.com/entrance/"

My first problem is how do I replicate the -U parameter (agent string) and my second problem is how does one go about handling cookies

Here's a task I'm using to fetch my balance.

What you'll want to look at is the for loops. They run through the headers and look for cookies. Any cookies are pushed into an array which is then joined with semicolons and put in the cookie field for the POST. If I recalled from when I made this, I needed a junk cookie in the first GET to let the page know I was accepting cookies.

You may want to write the headers out to a global so you can see how they're formed.
