How to log in to a vbulletin forum with C#?
- by Yustme
Hi,
I'm trying to log into a vbulletin forum. I got this far:
private string login(string url, string username, string password)
{
string values = "vb_login_username={0}&vb_login_password={1}"
values += "&securitytoken=guest&cookieuser=checked&do=login";
values = string.Format(values, username, password);
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
CookieContainer a = new CookieContainer();
req.CookieContainer = a;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; // prevents 417 error
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII))
{ writer.Write(values); }
this.response = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var cookie in response.Cookies)
{
output.Append(cookie.ToString());
output.Append(";");
}
return output.ToString();
}
It looks like i am getting logged in, but when i download the page, i can't find my username in it.
Do you guys see anything that i might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
