Hi All,

I have to post a request to a login page using the userid and password and then get the location and session cookiew from the responsestream, and then in return use that information to redirect the user to the URl that Header 'Location' has.

My question is I can send a get using the responsestream and get the response for the location page but all the images on the site are not showing up. Also If I want to redirect the user to the menu page after login, my session id is lost. I am attaching the code below for both - if someone has a solution to this it will be much appreciated.

Dim dByte() As Byte = enc.GetBytes(sFormdata)

        Try

            Dim req As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("https://somesite.com/login")
            With req
                .KeepAlive = False
                .Method = "POST"
                .AllowAutoRedirect = False
                .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                .ContentLength = dByte.Length
                .CookieContainer = cookieC
            End With

            'add the POST data
            Dim sendREQ As IO.Stream = req.GetRequestStream()
            sendREQ.Write(dByte, 0, dByte.Length)
            sendREQ.Close()

            req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
            'Obtain the response

            Dim Res As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
            Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(Res.GetResponseStream(), Text.Encoding.UTF8)
            Dim strData As String = sr.ReadToEnd

            'Add the headers
            Dim redirect As String = Res.Headers("Location")

            'add cookie
            cookieC.Add(Res.Cookies)


            'Move to redirect page as get request
            req = WebRequest.Create(redirect)

            With req
                .KeepAlive = False
                .Method = "GET"
                .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                .AllowAutoRedirect = False
                .CookieContainer = cookieC
            End With

            'get the page
            Res = req.GetResponse
            Dim sReader As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(Res.GetResponseStream)
            Dim html As String = sReader.ReadToEnd
            Response.Write(html)


for the redirect - I was trying to use the code below and instead of going to the menu page I was thrown back to the login page
Dim dByte() As Byte = enc.GetBytes(sFormdata)

        Try

            Dim req As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("https://somesite.com/login")
            With req
                .KeepAlive = False
                .Method = "POST"
                .AllowAutoRedirect = False
                .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                .ContentLength = dByte.Length
                .CookieContainer = cookieC
            End With

            'add the POST data
            Dim sendREQ As IO.Stream = req.GetRequestStream()
            sendREQ.Write(dByte, 0, dByte.Length)
            sendREQ.Close()

            req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
            'Obtain the response

            Dim Res As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
            Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(Res.GetResponseStream(), Text.Encoding.UTF8)
            Dim strData As String = sr.ReadToEnd

            'Add the headers
            Dim redirect As String = Res.Headers("Location")

            'add cookie
            cookieC.Add(Res.Cookies)




            Dim rs As HttpResponse = Context.Response
            Dim hCookie As New HttpCookie("CHUBB")
            hCookie.Name = "Cookie"
            hCookie.Value = Res.Cookies(0).Name & "=" & Res.Cookies(0).Value
            hCookie.Domain = Res.Cookies(0).Domain
            hCookie.Path = Res.Cookies(0).Path
            rs.Cookies.Add(hCookie)


            rs.Redirect(redirect)
            rs.Close()
