I am trying to login into this page but I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I have to login to this site when i connect to my school's wifi in order to start a session.
So far ive tried to use bash and cUrl to achieve this but have only achieved to give myself a headache. will cUrl work or am I on the wrong track? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
N
Here's what i tried:
curl --cookie-jar cjar --output /dev/null http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/
curl --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar \
    --data 'username=foo' \
    --data 'password=bar' \
    --data 'service=http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/' \
    --data 'loginurl=http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/bb_bb60/logincas.jsp' \
    --location \
    --output ~/loginresult.html \
        http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/
