PhantomJS/CasperJS site login, cookies are not accepted by PhantomJS

Ogofo picture Ogofo · Nov 21, 2012 · Viewed 10k times · Source

I recently tried to login into a webiste that forces me to accept cookies. I'm using phantomJs and casperJs. I wrote a little script that should handle the login, but it redirects me to a site that tells me I have to accept cookies. Email and password are just placeholders.

The site I want to login is https://de.buyvip.com/. But I need to click the button Anmelden mit Amazon so I can login with my amazon account. The other login form does not work. (That leads to this long url, I just copied it from my browser)

Can someone help me?

Here is the script:

    var casper = require("casper").create()
    var fs = require('fs');
    var page = "https://www.amazon.de/ap/signin?openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&pageId=quarterdeckde&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&clientContext=280-1158662-4507036&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.mode=checkid_setup&marketPlaceId=A38GABX06X24K&openid.assoc_handle=quarterdeckde&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fde.buyvip.com%2Fsignin&openid.pape.max_auth_age=0&siteState=http%3A%2F%2Fde.buyvip.com%2Fhomepage%3Fhash%3DM";

    phantom.cookiesEnabled = true;

    casper.start(page, function()
    {
        console.log("started");
        this.fill('form#ap_signin_form', {
            'email' : 'myMail',
            'password' : 'myPass'
        }, true);
    });

casper.then(function()
{
    fs.write("test.html", this.getHTML(), "w");
});

    casper.run();

Maybe a bit later, but this is the answer:

casper.userAgent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)');

the cookies are failing because amazon doesn't like the default casper's user agent, in my case: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) CasperJS/1.0.2+Phantomjs/1.7.0 Safari/534.34"
