    <p>I'm trying to write a simple script that fetches text from a webpage and processes that string. But, that website requires me to be logged in. I was successful in logging in to that website. This is how I logged in:</p> <pre><code>var payload = {"name1":"val1","name2":val2"}; var opt ={"payload":payload,"method":"post"}; var respose = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://website.com/login",opt); </code></pre> <p>After logging in, the website places me in <code>http://website.com/home</code>. I checked <code>response.getContentText()</code> and I can confirm that I have been logged in successfully as it contains the text from <code>http://website.com/home</code>. Now I need to get the contents of <code>http://website.com/page</code> and process it. I first assumed the script can handle cookies by itself and proceeded with </p> <pre><code>var pagedata = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://website.com/page);//Did not work </code></pre> <p>That obviously didnt work and <code>pagedata.getContentText()</code> says me to login first, which indicates cookies were not successfully passed..</p> <p>I then tried to extract cookies which the server responded during login and to send it along with this request.</p> <pre><code>var cookie = response.getAllHeaders()['Set-Cookie']; // variable cookie now contains a legitimate cookie. // It contains 'JSESSIONID=blabla;Path=/' and // it is the ONLY cookie that server responds. </code></pre> <p>I tried to send that cookie in my page request.</p> <pre><code>var header = {'Cookie':cookie}; var opt2 = {"header":header}; var pagedata = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://website.com/page",opt2); </code></pre> <p>I think even now cookies were not properly sent, as the content again says me to login.</p> <p>Am I passing cookies correctly? I need help regarding the correct method of sending cookies in a request.</p>
