Subject: [9fans] Abaco's Plumbing
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:37:53 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fe41879c1001141837n6939e069kc5b2bf92a3845ff@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In trying to access some papers in PDF,
locked up by secure login and what not
over the web two point oh-no, I was stuck
at the actual "access the paper" part.
After login, there is a link to a page that
forwards to the URL of the PDF. In order
to access, you need some cookies that
show you've logged in, etc.. So when I
open the link which forwards to the paper,
abaco tries to open the PDF link and gives
mime-type unsupported, of course.
Now, if I try to highlight and right-click that
link to open it in page(1), it doesn't appear,
because you can't just go directly to the link.
Sadly hget(1) doesn't do cookies so I can't
use the session to grab the paper without
abaco.
So, the only thing that I think could work
would be to have abaco plumb *.pdf as soon
as it gets the URL, instead of trying to show
it and ending up with mime-type unsupported.
Best,
ak
