Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / April 2007Login via CFHTTP?
Hi, We are making a automated script perform some "clean up" duties on our site, but it requires us to "log in" via a <form>. What is the best way to login and create a session? Our system is creating a cookie which stores the session details so when the next CFHTTP command is performed it isn't viewed as "logged in". How can I get the CFHTTP to store the session? You have to parse and store Set-Cookie header on the first response (and, perhaps, on subsequent responses, dependently on your session implementation). After that you should provide Cookie header within your chain of requests. Alternatively, you can use http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm, which handles sessions for you. I'm not sure you can. Because the CFHTTP user agent doesn't store cookies, there is no way to maintain session state. At least as of MX 6.1. You may want to consider placing your clean up script outside of your login, or at least change it so that the login validation and clean up occur on the same page for this particular process. Mr Black, Good call on the headers. I completely forgot about that! |
