So i'll make it short and clear. Im using wget cause HTT Track sucks and doesn't work at all.

I managed to get past the login screen but the problem is, the cookie is valid only once. Each time you click on a link, "part" of the cookie is updated, so it's no longer valid and you need to login again.

What is updated each time is the "intercom-session" hash - everything else remains the same. So what I get is only ONE working link - the rest return the login page.

Im not really that skilled on this subject so really need help from experts here. Either make wget pass credentials each time or find a way to let it generate a new hash each time...either way im kinda lost now :(
 
you need to understand sessions to keep self logged in .

you need a php forum

you mean browser sessions? what kind of certificate or signature do i need to generate
 
This will help you I think.

I've done that but as I said, keeping the cookies only works to download the first link, any other link needs a new session so you can't "reuse" the cookie and thus you get sent to the login page
