Secured web site with cookie

[wysiwyg]

I tried to look up example but didnt find one.

My task is to log on to a web site using a username and password. The site will then send a cookie, also tag all the subsequent pages URL or forms with something like a sessionID in the URLs.

I tried using the web recorder and sure enough that didnt work because the script looks for http://somewebsite/somepage?SessionID=123 when the next time i run the scripts sessionID became 234, you get the idea.

I know AA does pattern matching but i just couldnt figure out how to make it search by pattern, instead of a hard-coded url. Unfortunately I cant provide the url and username/password since the web site contains sensitive data.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

If layout of webpage is same then Web recorder will take care of changing parameters in a URL. You just have to record the task once, if you want to run the same task with different parameters then make use of variables in place of a fixed value and run the task. Web Recorder will take care of dynamic URL.
