note technojosh With a little more info about the REQUEST/RESPONSE sequences, I think I can help. Your post is kind of unclear... (<a href="http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=174051">How do I post a question effectively?</a>) <p> 1. use <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/WWW-Mechanize-1.68/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm">WWW::Mechanize</a> (no need for Firefox specifics, I don't think. Its ok to use Firebug to "discover" how to automate a process, but it doesnt' really tie you to firefox after that point) <br> 2. you seem to indicate you are able to pull the new, random URL you need from sso.gen?? </p> <p> *If* #2 is true, or at least close to reality, you should be able to parse that random URL and load it through a second GET request (I think that is what you are asking for in #3??) </p> If #2 is not true, then I think that will be your focus. If you get sso.gen successfully, are you able to successfully parse this random URL from the javascript? the "GET" method returns a <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Message-6.02/lib/HTTP/Response.pm">HTTP::Response</a> object, can you learn anything from that?<!-- Node text goes above.
