HttpUnit redirect problem while login to WS Portal app

Hi,


The question I have is that -- Is this the best way to get the response in
case of auto-redirects?


I was facing a problem while trying to login in a site, to which I found a
solution but still I have some doubt as follows:

I passed userid & password to a login page and submitted request. As a
result, I should have got an expected home page of the site. But I was
getting redirected back to the login page.

After struggling with this problem (using Fiddler) for a while, I could
finally find the solution. The solution being capturing the SET-COOKIE
header from the first response and setting it as cookie before sending the
request back in a series of auto-redirects.

This site was deployed on a WS portal and I was accessing the Portal login
page.

Following code works fine:

//Start
resp = wc.getResponse( "http://xyz.portal.com/orgaccess" );
String referer = "";
while(resp.getHeaderField("LOCATION") !=null){
referer = resp.getHeaderField("LOCATION");
resp = wc.getResponse( resp.getHeaderField("LOCATION"));
}
WebForm form = resp.getForms()[0];
req = form.getRequest(form.getSubmitButtons()[0]);
req.setParameter(resp.getElementWithID("userID").getName(),"XYZ ABC");
req.setParameter(resp.getElementWithID("password").getName(),"testpwd");
resp = wc.getResponse(req);
String [] headerFieldNames = resp.getHeaderFields("SET-COOKIE");
String cookie = "";
cookie = headerFieldNames[2] + "; " + headerFieldNames[4] + "; " +
headerFieldNames[1];
wc.setHeaderField("Cookie:",cookie);
while(resp.getHeaderField("LOCATION") !=null){
resp = wc.getResponse( resp.getHeaderField("LOCATION"));
}

assertTrue(resp.getTitle().indexOf("Welcome") >= 0);

//End

Please note the string array to hold the SET-COOKIE values in an array and
setting it back in Web Conversation in a particular format to get the
correct response back from portal server. The cookie contains jsessionid,
ltpatoken & login info.

The question I have is that -- Is this the best way to get the response?

Please help me conclude on this problem.

Thanks,
kriju
