I am trying to make a code that will automatically login into a webpage for you, but I am having trouble finding the url variables for the submission.
How can I find the url variables to submit the login?
i.e.
https://login.fidelity.com/ftgw/Fas/Fidelity/RtlCust/Login/Init
When I submit my username and password on the site, it passes it through to
https://login.fidelity.com/ftgw/Fas/Fidelity/RtlCust/Login/Response
The username <input> has id="userId", and the password <input> has id="password", and this is all under a <form> which has method="POST"
How can I find all variables that I need to submit?
The URL variables aren't always in the URL.
Most Login forms use a method of transferring that data called "POST".
In which the URL data cannot be seen by the user.
You can try using http://www.wireshark.org/ or http://www.charlesproxy.com/ to view the data sent and received by your web browser.
To find the name of the URL parameters (such as ?username=....&pas=...). You can look into the HTML of the page. Look for something like so:
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" value="User Types Username Here">
<input type="submit">
</form>
