-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 In reply to a couple messages, I got around the session cookie problem by using the --keep-cookies option but still no joy. Also, I used the post variables to match those in the raw html form from the login screen. There is an example of how to set this up in the wget man page. I also used the addition --keep-session-cookies option as shown in the next related example. I guess what I'm gonna have to do is run my first wget step as I have it and capture and examine the returned page. That should certainly show me if I got logged in or not. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHwJ3lWSjv55S0LfERA8iiAJ4/MvcZN4tP+hl4wGv6Plq8kYPNxwCgqB5Z KRzgYT5+Zg05glksM6o7Rjw= =t8Zc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
