WebMail login popup

[moked]

Hi Monks,

I'm trying to use the next code in order to check my webmail server:

use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies; 
use Stream::Reader;
$url="https://webmail.com/exchange";
my $username = "UserName"; 
my $password = "Password123";
my $mechanize = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 1);
$mechanize->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new());
$mechanize->get($url);
$mechanize->form_name('logonForm');
$mechanize->field(username => $username);
$mechanize->field(password => $password);
$mechanize->click();
$mechanize->get("https://webmail.com/exchange/username/Inbox/?Cmd=cont
+ents&Page=1");
my $page = $mechanize->content();

However, I get en error while running it:
Error GETing https://webmail.com/exchange/: Unauthorized
I entered the site manually,
and found out that the username and password,
are not being captured by a form in the page,
but by a pop up window.

I seeking help trying to handle this window.
will the mechanize work on this window?

Thanks in advance,
Moked

Alternatively, you might mean by "pop up window" that your browser is asking for Basic Authentication. See WWW::Mechanize on how to supply credentials or encode them directly in the starting UR as https://$username:$password\@....

If it is using a popup window then it must be using JavaScript, in which case there are plenty of solutions on this site already.

Incidently, http://webmail.com/exchange is timing out for me. You might want to check that isn't the cause of your issues. (Assuming webmail.com is real and you didn't mean example.com)

Exchange Web Access (at least the versions I've used) uses HTTP authentication. So I'd strongly recommend following Corion's advice.
