Ok I got bored while working on Mesh Thief and needed a method to login to IMVU website at any given time on the fly so I wrote a basic webclient h4c|< that dose this for me with given login information

CookieClient.cs


How to Use:


Simple and clean now you can keep reusing cCookit to download information from IMVUs site

Awesome, thanks for this.

good day, I looked at your code and I think this is what I am searching but how can I know if I am successfully login? because I tried it and I think it goes 50% right and 50% wrong because I dont have a confirmation if I successfully login. Sorry if I ask this simple question but for me its a big thing cause I am a beginner in coding. Hope you can help me with my problem.. thanks in advance!

Take a look at my thread here for an answer: https://www.imvumafias.org/community/vie ... 109&t=8503

am I getting the right track or not with the codes. [code=csharp file=Untitled.txt]using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{

public class CookieAwareWebClient : WebClient
{
private readonly CookieContainer _cookie = new CookieContainer();

protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
{
WebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(address);
if (request is HttpWebRequest)
{
(request as HttpWebRequest).CookieContainer = _cookie;
}
return request;
}
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var cCookie = new CookieAwareWebClient();
var loginData = new NameValueCollection { { "loginname", "quilab12" }, { "password", "IMVU Password" } };
cCookie.UploadValues("https://secure.imvu.com/login/login/", "POST", loginData);
}
}
}
[/code]

and also I don't know where to put it this code [code=csharp file=Untitled.txt]string result = cCookie.DownloadString("https://www.imvumafias.org/community/index.php?sid=8df1cf70095142267021470e18879542");
foreach (Cookie IMVUCookie in result.Cookies)
{
if (IMVUCookie != null)
{
if (IMVUCookie.Name == "Logout [ quilab12 ]")
{
//success
}
else
{
//failure
}
}
}[/code]

I tried to put it at after "cCookie.UploadValues("https://secure.imvu.com/login/login/", "POST", loginData);" but it doesn't work



*edit: hahha.. I edit the code I post cause of some error.

I don't know how you would validate the login using her code, I can't even get it to properly log into IMVU just using her example. It always fails and doesn't populate the cookie. The thread I linked you to is a completely different method for logging in that I use and works 100% of the time as long as you pass correct login information and supports validating the login.

It may be possible to splice the 2 methods together but I have no idea how and all my attempts at it have failed so far. If you figure it out, please share your code. I will keep trying myself and post my results.

sorry about the code I post. I edit it already but if I put it like this: string result = cCookie.DownloadString("https://www.imvumafias.org/community/index.php?sid=8df1cf70095142267021470e18879542"); I can't make it correctly.

dont worry If I figure it out how it will works, I will definitely share it.

Oh yeah.. I got it at last but in vb version

[code=vbnet file=Untitled.txt]Imports System.Net
Imports System.Collections.Specialized

Public Class Form1

Public Class CookieAwareWebClient
Inherits WebClient
Private ReadOnly _cookie As New CookieContainer()

Protected Overrides Function GetWebRequest(ByVal address As Uri) As WebRequest
Dim request As WebRequest = MyBase.GetWebRequest(address)
If TypeOf request Is HttpWebRequest Then
TryCast(request, HttpWebRequest).CookieContainer = _cookie
End If
Return request
End Function
End Class

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cCookie = New CookieAwareWebClient()
Dim loginData = New NameValueCollection() From { _
{"loginname", "quilab12"}, _
{"password", "*********"} _
}
cCookie.UploadValues("https://www.imvumafias.org/community/ucp.php?mode=login", "POST", loginData)

TextBox1.Text = cCookie.DownloadString("https://www.imvumafias.org/community/index.php")

If TextBox1.Text.Contains("icon-logout") Then
MsgBox("Success")
Else
MsgBox("failed")
End If
End Sub
End Class
[/code]

Thanks, I will look this over and see if I can convert it to c#. Should be simple enough.

Edit: Alright, I sat down and looked over your code and did some testing. This method still won't for IMVU for me and your code is flawed. The "icon-logout" list element is going to exist whether or provide a valid login or not.

ah.. but it works fine with me. actually I tried it on another website and the result is a success also

Have you tried using this on any of IMVU's apis that require authentication? For example, this api will always return null if you're not logged in: http://www.imvu.com/api/shop/product.php?pid=80
