Webparser and cookies.

Hello, I know that webparser doesn't support cookies thus making it impossible to get stuff off of a page that requires log-in, but I was wondering if there's a plugin that can access the information through the browser that is able to handle cookies. I'm especially interested in Facebook messages. If anyone has any information on that please link me to it.

Since no one else has chimed in with a suggestion, I'll tell you one way that will work. It's not trivial, but it will work. All you need is the RunCommand plugin and a copy of cURL. You can get cURL here:
https://curl.haxx.se/ (or here:
https://curl.haxx.se/download.html).
If you are not familiar with cURL, it is basically a command-line interface that does everything WebParser can do and a ton more. It supports all the HTTP verbs (including POST), you can output to a file or the screen (like WebParser), and it handles cookies, authentication, and etc.
Code: Select all
[MeasureUsingWebParser]
Measure=WebParser
Url=https://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/USNY0996:1:US?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=1
RegExp=(?siU)^(.*)$
UpdateRate=900
[MeasureUsingRunCommand]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=curl "https://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/USNY0996:1:US?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=1"
OutputType=ANSI
State=Hide
Timeout=5000
UpdateDivider=900
The above measures should be virtually identical (I didn't try it), although you might need to handle child measures a little differently if you need them.
