Yahoo Mobile *WORKING*

Alexander Turcic · 12-07-2002, 10:36 AM

http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?...asswd=YOURPASS

English
Link-Depth: 3-4?? (depends on user profile)

This one works!! Hope you like it. In the Url you must replace YOURNAME and YOURPASS with your username and password respectively. No specific cookies are required - only make sure you enable Receive and Send Cookies in iSiloX's Cookie Tab.

If you don't want to download the entire MyYahoo, its quite huge, you can also specify a category (just follow the instruction above using another url from below):

MyYahoo Mail

MyYahoo Movies

MyYahoo Sports

MyYahoo Finance

MyYahoo News

MyYahoo Weather -- if you want to always download weather forecast for one specific city, use Internet Explorer first to browse there, then copy the url and use it to replace XXX here: MyYahoo Weather

Questions? Just ask.

I tried this one, with a link depth of 4, with cookies enabled, and it went for about three seconds, generating 6 KB of content, and then telling me it was done.  Am I doing something wrong?

Yes,that looks wrong because it works fine for me and should also work fine for you. Did you put your userlogin and password correctly? I am going to post some screenshots later.

Yes, I double-checked my username and password.  This is made even more strange by the fact that everything but e-mail is working for me through another, similar link.  I'm able to get news, weather, etc., but not e-mail, because that apparently requires a session ID.  I'll play with it a bit more and see if I can get it working.

I would guess you forgot to do this:

--quote--
No specific cookies are required - only make sure you enable Receive and Send Cookies in iSiloX's Cookie Tab.
--end quote--

It is important that iSiloX can receive the session cookie while you do the Hotsync. When you do this, everything shoudl work fine (like it does for me).

Good idea, but I didn't.  In fact, it was the first thing I did, even before entering the address, so as to make sure that I did not forget it.

Alexander Turcic · 12-09-2002, 12:16 PM

Try this... take the url with your username and password and open it in Internet Explorer. See if that works first.

saw9000 · 12-09-2002, 12:35 PM

That worked, as well.  By the way, I'm doing all of this from memory, so if I get any of it wrong, I will correct it later this evening, when I'm at my own PC.

Alexander Turcic · 12-09-2002, 12:37 PM

Ah np. Just go ahead and try a little bit; I have just hotsynced iSiloX, and it worked fine here. Probably just a tiny thing that causes it not work properly for you.

saw9000 · 12-09-2002, 12:43 PM

The reason I say it's probably some kind of simple issue I haven't seen yet is because I entered the information and tried to convert the channel, but it couldn't get any data at all.  I then tried another channel and had the same problem.  I shut down and restarted my PC in disgust, tried the other channel again, and it worked fine.  Right after that was when I tried Yahoo and got the 6 KB of content.

Doesn't work here either.  The download I get is a page from yahoo telling me my browser doesn't accept cookies.  And yes, I did enable send and receive cookies in isilo.
