How-To: Fetch your cookies for iSiloX - Page 2

That's exactly what I did yesterday. Anyway, I'll try again - there should be a jpeg file attached to this (but I can't see it in preview mode).

Can iSiloX handle Javascripts as well?

Thanks loads for this thread (and all the great info on this site). I was thrilled when I finally got the TV listings page I use downloaded. It was this discussion on setting up cookies that helped me get the configuration options set properly. Thanx again!

Doesn't appear so

Alex, I still haven't properly figured out how to use cookies in iSiloX. Some advice would be gratefully received.

For the UK public transport website Xephos I have a cookie named basil@en[1].txt. When I open it I see the following:

login
basil.clarke%40btinternet.com
www.internet.xephos.com/site/xephos/en/
1536
4055841408
29634627
3655740928
29592382
*

Which bits of this go into which fields in iSiloX?

Try this:
Enable 'Send cookies' and 'Receive cookies' in the Cookies Tab. Then Add a Cookie with

name: login
value: basil.clarke%40btinternet.com
expires: never
path: /site/xephos/en/
domain: www.internet.xephos.com

Greets!

Alex, Many thanks, it worked. I'll use it as a template when I need to enter other cookies.

It's also possible to read cookies using Opera. In this case you will find the cookies in File -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Manage cookies. In this list they are sorted on the domain which they originates from.

Opera maybe downloaded from www.opera.com, and is available for Windows and Linus and some other platforms...

Have they changed the log-in procedures/cookies for the NY Times?

I'm now having problems fetching the education section, the science, and the space/cosmos ones. I went back through the cookies/password procedures cited and it's still not working. (I do have cookies send/receive set.)

Maybe someone else can let me know if they can get them working--if so, then it's user error (mine!) and not the Times!

When I pasted my Source link into the web browser, it takes me to the password login page...with everything filled in (courtesy of the browser). If I then click for it to accept it, it takes me to the page I want...

For example, here's one page I end up at.

http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Space.xml

Any ideas?

robinson · 01-05-2007, 11:43 AM

A follow up. I have the science and space/cosmos sections working now. I discovered that I had changed my password at the New York Times site itself, but hadn't updated the source link and the cookies in iSiloX!

But I still cannot get the education section working.

It's this page: http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/.../Education.xml

Another odd thing I noticed is that the cookie NYT-S showed a different value for the science and space/cosmos sections! And they're different from what shows in Firefox, too! I'm pretty sure I simply copy and pasted the cookie into both cookie fields for the two sections--but they changed!

-------

Well, solved that one, too! I copied and pasted from the science source into the education source and changed the final part of the url from "science" to "education"--that did it. There must have been a stray character or something in there (even though I compared them in a text editor and thought they were the same).

In any event, maybe my travails will help someone else (when all else fails, copy and paste the URL source link and change a few characters!)
