I'm looking to download webpages that require a signin (specifically shopgoodwill.com). They don't use BasicAuth so I have to sign in somehow.
Curl allows you to run it with a cookie file, so I'm looking for a way to display a webpage to the user where they can sign in, then, when they close the window, capture the cookie, and store it to a file.
Is there a built-in way to achieve something like this within batch or powershell? Would this be possible with a simple .HTA file (outdated but so is the site I'm using this with)? If there is a simple way to do this in any language really, as long as I can invoke it from the command prompt once I compiled or saved it, I would be very interested.
I looked at the following questions, but they did not involve a user signing in with a ui webpage:
- Getting a session cookie using powershell
- https://superuser.com/questions/1275923/using-invoke-webrequest-in-powershell-with-cookies
This question seemed promising, but none of the answers were working for me (when using invoke-request to download the page using the same session, it wanted me to login, telling me it had not properly loggged in).
