departmentg33k Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 First off, this post does discuss the use of _IECreate to establish a session on a password-protected site. I think my post and the related script is within forum rules, but if mods disagree and it's considered an "Auto-Login Method" as referenced in forum rules mea cupla, please feel free to edit/delete this post. I'm using _IECreate to log into a "Secure File Transfer" site (https). With the _IECreate session still open, I'm trying to use INetGet to actually download a file, but each time INetGet fails. I can use the same URL I pass to INetGet in the actual, visible browser session, via the address bar, and the requested file loads just fine. Am I missing something, or does INetGet create it's own session, and not use the authenticated session created with _IECreate? Sample Code: #Include <IE.au3> $Username = "xxxxxxxxxx" ; Debug Mode: 0 = End-User, 1 = Logging---------------------------------------- $DEBUGMODE = 1 ;Registers 'ESC' as a Panic Abort Key, if in debug mode------------------------ If $DEBUGMODE = 1 Then HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate") EndIf ;Launches an instance of IE (note, set last param from 1 to 0 to hide window)-- $oIE = _IECreate("https://example.com/~",0,1) ;Perform Automated Login------------------------------------------------------- $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0) $oField_User = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 1) $oField_Pass = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 2) $oBut_Submit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 3) $enter_user = _IEFormElementSetValue($oField_User, $Username) $enter_pass = _IEFormElementSetValue($oField_Pass, "*******") $click_subm = _IEAction($oBut_Submit, "click") Sleep(1000) $CurrentPage = _IENavigate($oIE, "https://example.com/download") ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE) $savedir = "C:\ScriptTemp\cache" For $oLink In $oLinks If StringInstr($oLink.href,".txt?P") Then _InetGet($oLink.href,$savedir & "\" & StringLeft(StringRight($oLink.href,20),18), 27)&@CRLF) EndIf Next I have verified the $oLinks collection contains valid links using ConsoleWrite, and I can manually download using these links. Thanks in advance, I'm long-time reader, first-time poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It creates its own unique connection unrelated to your browser session.

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

departmentg33k Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 It creates its own unique connection unrelated to your browser session.DaleThanks for the rapid response Dale!So am I correct in my understanding that INetGet cannot be made to use the same session as created by _IECreate? I had a semi-working version using _IENavigate, I just didn't like having to mess with the file>save dialog, I was trying to use IE in hidden mode, as this is a script to automate a process for a "less than technical" user.Thanks!
