Hi, I'm trying to connect using the below code 1, it's working perfect and land me directly to the Ad page.
Unfortunately, it's not working dynamically, I mean I can't set TextBoxes for Login details as I don't see any login parameters within the code 1.

Whereas I see login parameters in Code 2, but Code 2 doesn't connect to the web-site, I mean it's land me in the login page only.

Both codes come from Fiddler, Please see Picture I uploaded.

- Fiddler Request 302 HTTPS is the one that provides me with all the login details but doesn't connect, it's only land me to the Login page.
- Fiddler Request 200 HTTPS is the one that doesn't provide me the login details (parameters) but connect to the web-site properly.


I don't know what is going on !!! Please can you help?

You need to run the request to the 302 redirect and then set the cookies. Disable AllowAutoRedirect - Set Cookies - Then Load the second URL.
 
Hi gimme4free, thanks for your prompt reply.

One question please, From my above Code 2, which line is the second URL?
 
Hi gimme4free, thanks for your prompt reply.

One question please, From my above Code 2, which line is the second URL?

You are posting your login data to:
https://www.gumtree.co.za/my/ads.html

With data:
Dim body As String = "redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gumtree.co.za%2Fmy%2Fads.html&email=hjghgdfs878%40gmail.com&password=poryty14&rememberMe=on"

This then checks that the data is correct & returns with a logged in state cookie. You should then add this back into your cookie container. It then returns a 302 redirect. HTTPWebRequest with AllowAutoRedirect enabled does NOT automatically add these cookies to your cookie container. So you should disable AllowAutoRedirect & set the cookies & then make a second request to the redirect URL with the new cookies.

If your process is not working then back track to where the issue is occuring & compare your headers from your bot in Fiddler & then do it manually in your browser to make sure that the data is all correct & you are getting the same responses & using the correct cookies on the next URL calls.
 
Hi user gimme4free,

I tried the below code but still not working, I mean it doesn't connect.
Although I set the Cookies called "tempCookies"; I also tried to load the second URL but nothing's working.

Please can you help?

Request_www_gumtree_co_za is returning false as the response is nothing, which it is expected to be on a redirect with AllowAutoRedirect set to false.

Your login information is also incorrect as per the redirect after making this request:
Location: /login.html?error&message=Bad credentials&redirect=https://www.gumtree.co.za/my/ads.html
 
Thanks,

I did set "request.AllowAutoRedirect = False" (Please see the above code I posted yesterday)

Regarding the Login info, the one I posted on this Forum is fake;
but if you want, I can send you the real one through Private Message may be you can help me troubleshooting from your side.

I test the code through VB using the real login details, not the fake one.
 
Thank you user gimme4free,

it's SOLVED !!!

I set Cookies as suggested and working Perfect now.


Thanks again !
