XMLhttp login

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 29.2007

Wow, long time since I’ve been here. Sorry to come crawling back for help!

I’m trying to get a remote login using xmlhttp requests. Basically, the idea is to send the username and password data via .send() – this part’s no problem. The problem arises when I get to the response – I’m having trouble receiving the cookie and storing it. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

Thanks.

@ricpApr 29.2007 — First: Without seeing an example, it's next to impossible to debug your problem.

Second: Are you sending the username/password as plain text? You might want to look into some form of encryption.

@NevermoreauthorApr 29.2007 — As always seems to happen, I managed to get it working just after posting the question... Not sure what was wrong, but I don't really care now!

In answer to #2, it's being sent over an SSL connection.

Success!
