Download file on login required website


Recommended Posts

No more than the title above, I just want to download a file on a site, the file is in .xls format, say the URL is:

https://go.xero.com/Reports/ExcelReport.aspx?reportId=aebe4549-3743-484d-bc88-906d6d277cdf&report=&statement=17e61be5-f96b-478c-8ef1-a41b0bbe33e6&attPage=

when I open this url in the browser that is being logged on the site, I successfully download this file, but otherwise I will be redirected to this address:

https://login.xero.com/?applicationToken=ded09319d8f9498d827149dab3f5fe78&redirectCount=0

this page is login with this form:

<form action="/" id="LoginForm" method="post"><input id="fragment" name="fragment" style="display:none" type="hidden" value="">
    <fieldset>
        <div class="field">
            <label for="email">Email</label>
            <input autocomplete="off" autofocus="autofocus" id="email" name="userName" title="Please enter your Email address" type="email" value="">
        </div>
        <div class="field">
            <label for="password">Password</label>
            <input autocomplete="off" id="password" name="password" title="Please enter your Xero password" type="password">
        </div>
    </fieldset>

    <div class="actions">
        <a href="#" id="submitButton" class="x-btn blue main">Login</a>
        <input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="cXNWGb318lImYLYWJdtcATK0ZJL72S2r9Xu0demAcVDtFIeoZn+LqXAIUBICXH1JzQjazcBLLzQymQ1Hu2ZMn9J/4JBZe/cNOO1WgwLWFsqUs20Y7LPPFKT7nOwbYPqpNiKvZw==">
    </div>
</form>

I want to be able to download this file automatically without user assistance, for now i use IE to download this file (_IECreate, _IEFormElementSetValue, _IEFormSubmit) the problem with this I can't automate IE download dialog, so i need click the dialog first, anyone who cares with my problem?

Install FireBug, restart Firefox, hit 12 and navigate to

https://go.xero.com/Reports/ExcelReport.aspx?reportId=aebe4549-3743-484d-bc88-906d6d277cdf&report=&statement=17e61be5-f96b-478c-8ef1-a41b0bbe33e6&attPage=

Then on the Net tab take a look where the file is uploaded and use the address with Inetget

it's possible

Use the WinHTTP.udf for apply method post and send as a parameters the login and password and create a function to save the document.

Remember you need check the navigation before that login, test many times, for you check how it works, some pages has changes in the access when you run every time, is that why you can expect timeout or another page, or the login again.

Based on the data you provided it would probably be something like this:

#include "WinHttp.au3"

Global Const $sUserName = "YourEmail@address.com"
Global Const $sPassword = "SuperSecretPassword"


; Initialize and get session handle
$hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
; Get connection handle
$hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "login.xero.com", $INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT)

; Fill login form:
$sRead = _WinHttpSimpleFormFill($hConnect, _
        Default, _ ; location of the form
        "LoginForm", _ ; id of the form
        "name:userName", $sUserName, _
        "name:password", $sPassword)

; You can check both @error and inspect $sRead to see if login was good
;~ ConsoleWrite($sRead & @CRLF)

; Close connection handle
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)

; Open new connection handle
$hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "go.xero.com", $INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT)

$vXLS = _WinHttpSimpleSSLRequest($hConnect, _
        Default, _
        "Reports/ExcelReport.aspx?reportId=aebe4549-3743-484d-bc88-906d6d277cdf&report=&statement=17e61be5-f96b-478c-8ef1-a41b0bbe33e6&attPage=", _
        Default, _
        Default, _
        Default, _
        Default, _
        2) ; BINARY

; Close connection handle
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)
; Close session handle
_WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen)

; Do whatever with this data, save to file or just print to console like I'm doing here
ConsoleWrite($vXLS & @CRLF)
;$hFile = FileOpen(@DesktopDir & "\test.xls", 18) ; Binary
;FileWrite($hFile, $bXLS)
;FileClose($hFile)

;The End

Hi @trancexx you are really my hero, many many thanks, even after 7 months I still need this, before this I try to automate IE download, but its buggy with many IE version,

 

Your solution works, but now the problem is the downloaded data (.xls file) is truncated I only got a few lines when I open the file on MS Excel, can you explan to me?

 

EDIT: apparently I only get the first 5120 kb of data,
