Subject: http-access2 help


i'm trying to convert some scripts i have which login in to rubyforge, cache
the login cookie, and allow automatic upload of a new release.  they are
working fine attm but they make systems calls to use curl and i'm trying to
port the http-access2 so they might be used on windows too.  i'm having an
issue following status 302, as it returned by the login page.  here is the
script:

   [ahoward@localhost rubyforge-0.0.0]$ cat login2
   #! /usr/bin/env ruby
   $VERBOSE = nil
   require "getoptlong"
   require "enumerator"
   require "http-access2"
   require "tempfile"

   uri, page = "http://rubyforge.org", "/account/login.php"

   opts =
     GetoptLong::new(
       [ "--username", "-u", GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT ],
       [ "--password", "-p", GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT ],
       [ "--cookie_jar", "-c", GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT ]
     ).enum_for.inject({}){|h,kv| h.update Hash[*kv]}

   username = opts['username'] || ARGV.shift or abort 'no username'
   password = opts['password'] || ARGV.shift or abort 'no password'
   cookie_jar = opts['cookie_jar'] || ARGV.shift || Tempfile::new($0).path

   form = {
     'return_to' => '',
     'form_loginname' => username,
     'form_pw' => password,
     'login' => 'Login'
   }

   client = HTTPAccess2::Client::new ENV['HTTP_PROXY']
   client.set_cookie_store cookie_jar

   response =
     unless ENV['BLOW_UP']
       client.post "#{ uri }/#{ page }", form
     else
       client.debug_dev = STDERR
       client.post_content "#{ uri }/#{ page }", form
     end

   client.save_cookie_store

   p response

   __END__
   <form action="/account/login.php" method="post">
   <input type="hidden" name="return_to" value="" />
   <p>
   Login Name:<br /><input type="text" name="form_loginname" value="" />
   </p>
   <p>
   Password:<br /><input type="password" name="form_pw" />
   </p>
   <p>
   <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
   </p>
   </form>


now, if i run using

   [ahoward@localhost rubyforge-0.0.0]$ ./login2 xxx yyy cookie_jar

   #<HTTP::Message:0xb7e85188 @header=#<HTTP::Message::Headers:0xb7e85250 @request_uri=nil, @header_item=[["Date", "Thu, 03 Nov 2005 16:21:10 GMT"], ["Server", "Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a PHP/4.4.1"], ["Vary", "Accept-Encoding"], ["X-Powered-By", "PHP/4.4.1"], ["Expires", "Wed, 11 Nov 1998 11:11:11 GMT"], ["Cache-Control", "must-revalidate"], ["Set-Cookie", "session_ser=abcxyz; expires=Thursday, 10-Nov-05 16:21:10 GMT; path=/; domain=.rubyforge.org"], ["Location", "/my/"], ["Transfer-Encoding", "chunked"], ["Content-Type", "text/html"]], @body_type=nil, @request_method=nil, @body_date=nil, @request_via_proxy=nil, @http_version="1.1", @reason_phrase="Found\r", @body_size=0, @request_query=nil, @is_request=false, @response_status_code=302, @chunked=false, @body_charset=nil>, @body=#<HTTP::Message::Body:0xb7e850c0 @boundary=nil, @charset=nil, @type=nil, @chunk_size=4096, @body="", @date=nil>>


the login works - the cookie is returned.  however, the login page is supposed
to bounce you back to http://rubyforge.org/my/, as you can see by the 302
(FOUND) status code and the ["Location", "/my/"] header.  i figured i could use
post_content to follow this, at least the source seems to read this way...  so
i tried:


   [ahoward@localhost rubyforge-0.0.0]$ BLOW_UP=true ./login2 xxx yyy
   = Request

   ! CONNECTION ESTABLISHED

   form_pw=yyy&form_loginname=xxx&return_to=&login=Login

   = Response

           from ./login2:36


but no go.  it looks like it drops the host on the redirect an tries to connect
to localhost or something...

am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

kind regards.
