Question

i’m trying to login to Flash Site using ASP.NET C# httprequest…. i use Firebug and debug login address and found: http://sechiakhoanhkhac.com/live/data.php?mod=member&act=login

and my code here:

string UrlDangNhap = "http://sechiakhoanhkhac.com/live/data.php?mod=member&act=login";
            //password=123456&email=dmsang -- password=123456&email=sangdeptrai
            string username="sangdeptrai";
            string strPostDataDangNhap = String.Format("password=123456&email={0}",username);              
            //Create Cookie to keep Login status
            CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
            HttpWebRequest wrDangNhap = WebRequest.Create(UrlDangNhap) as
            HttpWebRequest;
            wrDangNhap.Method = "POST";
            wrDangNhap.ContentLength = strPostDataDangNhap.Length;
            wrDangNhap.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";
            wrDangNhap.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1";
            wrDangNhap.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            wrDangNhap.KeepAlive = true;
            wrDangNhap.CookieContainer = cookies;

            StreamWriter swDangNhap = new StreamWriter(wrDangNhap.GetRequestStream());
            swDangNhap.Write(strPostDataDangNhap);
            swDangNhap.Close();

// do somethings after login

that code is wrong or right? because i cant login and dont know when i login-ed or not… because this is flash site so we can get response to check…

Answer 1

The web service needs the “Referer” field to be set, eg:

wrDangNhap.Referer = "http://sechiakhoanhkhac.com/live/main.swf"

The service will then return the following response in the message body (which appears to be the username and ID):

sangdeptrai,46104

Additional info: I used fiddler to inspect the request and response while logging in. The full request looks like this:

The decompressed response looks like this:
