Re: RE: [PHP-WIN] imitating browser

Svensson, B.A.T. (HKG),Hello！ I agree with what Svensson said.I can give you some details. You MUST know how to REMEMBER your link state and information for a browser.It's related with cookie,that's to say,Set-Cookie & Cookie field of HTTP header.such as: Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=akjadflkwjeoidfalkjlk34kjadfl;path=/ All that you can do is to access the wegpage you need by this PHPSESSID. Addtionally,since via POST method,you can send POST command.its details are listed in RFC1945(HTTP/1.0) and RFC2068(HTTP/1.1). If you have some software that can capture the data package during the communication between a server and a client,that'll be better for you to understand it. ======= 2004-02-02 21:21:18 ======= >OF course it possible, otherwise it would not be possible >to write a web browser in the first instance. ;) > >Check out the HTTP protocol at www.w3.org, and then start out >by making a manual telnet connection to port 80, that should >make you familary with the principles.
