Logging into google through mIRC without openID or otherwise

I need to login to google to access a private spreadsheet through mIRC. I can store the email and password in a variable, no problem; I just don't know the easiest way to actually login - I want it fully automatic, no user prompt required.

I tried this so far, but it didn't work..

Solution

  • There is no easy answer, I'm sorry.
    The google login is very complicated because:

    • It uses multible set-cookie lines in the header reply
    • It has hidden fields which seems to be used as security method (you would need to request the login site first and store those values and send them with the login-request to make your login-try valid)
    • You manipulate the cookie and how it's stored and sent in the next request, this can also have an effect to the login.

    There is only one suggestion I can make to you: Download the firefox addon Live HTTP headers and try to follow what your browser sends and act like it.
