Ruby RestClient.post for login form

Question

I am trying to log in using the following code:

require 'rubygems' require 'nokogiri' require 'open-uri' require 'csv' require 'restclient' HEADERS_HASH = {"User-Agent" => "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/534.57.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.4"} page = Nokogiri::HTML(open("http://example.com/login", HEADERS_HASH)) token = page.css("form.login_box div input")[0]['value'] login_resp = RestClient.post("https://example.com/session", {"authenticity_token" => token, "login" => 'username', "password" => 'password', "remember_me" => 1, 'commit' => 'Sign In'}) 

But I get the following error:

 /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/abstract_response.rb:39:in `return!': 302 Found (RestClient::Found) from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/request.rb:230:in `process_result' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/request.rb:178:in `block in transmit' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:745:in `start' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/request.rb:172:in `transmit' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/request.rb:64:in `execute' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/request.rb:33:in `execute' from /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient.rb:72:in `post' from btw.rb:13:in `<main>' 

I'm not sure what this error tells me? Any tips?

Here is the form code:

Answer 1

You have 302 redirect in response to your POST request. RestClient does not handle POST redirects, so it throws an exception. You need to handle this exception in your code so that you can figure out what the response is or where it is redirected.

See RestClient docs for more details .

You can also use the block form described here , which does not seem to raise an exception for POST 302 redirection and allows it to be processed directly inside the block

 # Follow redirections for all request types and not only for get and head # # RFC : "If the 301, 302 or 307 status code is received in response to a # request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically # redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this # might change the conditions under which the request was issued." RestClient.get('http://my-rest-service.com/resource'){ |response, request, result, &block| if [301, 302, 307].include? response.code response.follow_redirection(request, result, &block) else response.return!(request, result, &block) end }
