Hello all,

I am new here

.

I am trying to use wget to authenticate into facebook. I tried

Code:

wget --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 --save-cookies c.txt --post-data
'email=a@a.a&pass=pass' http://www.facebook.com/login.php

and

 wget --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 --load-cookies
/home/XXXXX/.mozilla/firefox/XXXXXX.default/cookies.txt
http://www.facebook.com/login.php

but none seems to work.

Any help would be really appreciated.

If your making a facebook app just direct the person to the facebook page to login.
