suppose we know the name of textfields on a html page and we wish to write a java prog. to automatically login on website with our given predefined details.
i mean sending an http request with values for login fields through a prog. and then handle the response.
Yes that is possible.
how do we handle the response sent by server
After we read it, we look at it and do what ever is required for what was contained in the response.
The response from the server would depend on what was sent, the server itself, the time of day, or ???
This is all sort of general BS. You're going to have to ask more specific questions to get more specific answers.
i was working to make a web app scanner , scanning for vulnerabilities like xss , sql injection . so was thinking to try to fire some script and sql quries in data fields of a web page and then again scanning the response of server if it produces any change in page .
may be i need some concept of networking i suppose.

I AM TRYING WITH THIS CODE BUT STILL IAM NOT GETTING THE NEXT WEBPAGE LIKE HOMEPAGE OR WRONGPASSWORD WHATEVER .IT ALWAYS SENDS ME THE SAME WEBPAGE THAT I HAV MADE CONNECTION
Can you explain the communication that takes place? Something like the following except show the contents of the ...req... and ...resp... messages.
You send a request to a server: ....req1....
The server sends you a response: ...resp1....
You read the response and send another resquest ...req2.. to the server
The server sends you a response: ....resp2....
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod getPage = new GetMethod("http://www.fbook.com");
client.executeMethod(getPage);
PostMethod postLogin = new PostMethod("http://www.fbook.com/login.php");
NameValuePair[] data = {
new NameValuePair("email", "989@gmail.com"),
new NameValuePair("pass", "password"),
new NameValuePair("submit","Login")
};
postLogin.setRequestBody(data);
client.executeMethod(postLogin);
//this is a request to a page that requires authentication
GetMethod getPage2 = new GetMethod("http://www.fbook.com/home.php");
client.executeMethod(getPage2);
System.out.println(getPage2.getResponseBodyAsString());
}
i think it s good to use external library here .this code works but so much of libraries download and importing is required . still cookies hav to be taken care of
Have you solved your problem?
hey
well the problem has been solved now .
i used "htmlunit" api to get login into site s like gmail,yahoo etc.
the above code works on some sites too where javascript is not interupting.
