Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Monks,
I am hoping someone can help me out with a problem retrieving and storing cookies that are written to an HTML page.
My Perl script uses LWP to retrieve remote web pages and then stores cookies that are returned in the HTTP header with no problems.
Several pages I am seeing lately use javascript to write their cookies within the HTML, and my script fails to recognize these cookies.
Here is a snippet of my code...
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "cookies.dat", autosave = +> 1, ignore_discard => 1); $ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar); $header = new HTTP::Headers (Accept => 'text/html', Referer => $referer); $ua->agent($browser); $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $link, $header); $response = $ua->request($request); if ($response->is_success) { ...do stuff }
My question is how can I access and store a cookie that is written within the HTML that looks something like this...
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript> <!-- document.cookie = "ref=" +top.document.referrer + "; ; PATH=/; ;" // --> </SCRIPT>
