Thanks for responding. I tried curl call but it wasnt logging in.
Code:
curl -k -L -v -u xxxx:xxxx https://xxxx/login.cgi
From the above command , I am getting the html of the index page but it couldnt login.
Ok...so as you were told in your other thread and here, you need to research what's going on and why. Have you tried putting "how to login to website using curl" into Google??? Some of the very first hits have examples and explanations.
I see Invalid credentials error. I used the same username and password through browser where it works.Is there something wrong the way I pass the credentials?
One more thing. When I used below command, Looking into the index file the above command generated,
I see Invalid credentials error. I used the same username and password through browser where it works.Is there something wrong the way I pass the credentials?
I suggest you, AGAIN, go back and look at the examples. What you're doing doesn't match..can't be more plain. You're not saving the cookie somewhere, you're not putting the URL into double-quotes, etc.

Thanks for your guidance. I am doing my research and tried most of the examples suggested online. I thought someone would shed light on what I am missing. ANyways I will keep trying. Thanks for you effort.
Below is the modified command I am using incase you like to see.
