Work schedule retriever
Codex
Hello,

I am making an app to retrieve my work schedule in C#, however the website which hosts my work schedule is using aspx and does not provide an api. In order to access the work schedule, for example xxx.com/schedule I have to enter yyy.com and click on "View schedule" which I assume generates a cookie and then redirects me to xxx.com/schedule

Now I have tried to follow some examples to direct me, but I am unable to get it to work. The first step, which I attempt to login and save the cookie to display yyy.com doesn't work.

I have used both of these for reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2798 ... other-page and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9308 ... ia-program

I am stuck, if anyone has attempted anything similar before please direct me in the right path.

Hey!

There is a possibility that it generates a Session Token as well; now the main problem may be the fact that each time you send a request to the server, there is no container to hold the old one and so a new session link is generated, and so when it redirects you to the main page, the cookie container is not present, hence it thinks you're not logged in.

A solution can be to use the HTTP/1.0 Authentication Realm (if it is provided) otherwise you need to store all the cookie data in a text file (say .cookie) and then resend it with each request. It's actually pretty simple: use a sublayer cookie container. (PM me if you need a class, I have one).

Hope this helps! :)

Hey, long time :D

If we can talk through Skype and you can help me throughout that would be great! I haven't touched C# in a while now and I am still rusty. My Skype ID is: codexvideos
I am online tomorrow tho if you leave me an offline IM I can get back to you.
