Java and the internet

[Nemecek]

Hey,

I want to be able to make a java program that accesses a webpage and types in my information in the required fields and clicks the log in button (whether it be facebook or any other site that requires name and password) If someone has sample code I could probably teach myself or if you know how a website cause I've been looking and i can't seem to find anything or just any other suggestions or leads to go off of cause right now I'm stumped. Thanks.

I've heard of things like this before and believe it is easier than it sounds. All you would really need to do is create/edit cookies.

Here take a look at this, it's free. Is this what you are trying to do?

I think learning about Http methods will help you:

That isn't really what I'm looking for but thanks though! I've posted that I've wanted to make bots so think perhaps maybe of a gaming bot that plays an online game such as runescape, and this program has to open the webpage enter the log in information, log in and do whatever else the program was made to do.

Now I can already do this using primitive methods such as mouseclicks at specific pixel locations (Anyone familiar with java probably knows you can do this using Robot)

But now I want to the same thing but without my computer actually opening a window and clicking in specific locations. Hopefully that makes sense.

I've also started learning HTML and I suppose http would be the next step if i wanted to start interacting with the internet so I'll check out that site thanks!

You should check out Applets.

this things are programs written in java and typically designed to run from a web browser.

I find this kind of thing to be easier with PHP cURL. I do believe JAVA is able to use this method..... a little something like this:

Code: Select all

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL("https://www.example.com").openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.getOutputStream().write("LOGIN".getBytes("UTF-8"));
con.getInputStream();

Once again, please don't necro old posts.

Once again, +1 for content, -1 for feeding
