获取当前登录的会话ID

Question

I am trying to log in to a site and extract HTML data for some of the pages of that site. The problem is, each link/page of the site contains the session id for the current login. For example: If I right-click the any link and OPEN IN NEW TAB, the url looks like:

http://02.iswhm.jp/admin/adm_user_search.php?sex=0& PHPSESSID=xsd6flqcccj24j5evv8ussp76mr1

From JAVA, if I do not specify the session id, I cannot get html data. For example:

String url = "http://02.iswhm.jp/admin/adm_user_search_result.php";
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("loginstatus[5]", "90"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("loginstatus[6]", "99"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("PHPSESSID", "xsd6flqcccj24j5evv8ussp76mr1"));

.... ....

httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT, AuthScope.ANY_REALM),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("xxx", "xxxxx"));

HttpPost httpget = new HttpPost(uri);
httpget.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent(),"SJIS"));
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

String line = "";
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
temp+=line+"\n";
}

The above code does not work if I dont specify the PHPSESSID.

How can I get the session ID using JAVA's HTTP API ?

Answer 1

I am not sure, this should be the proper way for it, but you can always get the cookie with name PHPSESSID , and the value would have the ID. This is a kinda work-around.

Give it a try :-)

Thanks

I am not sure, but you can use HttpServletRequest interface in which you can use getSession().getId(); you will get the session id. I may be wrong.
