DIAMOND Multi-Step Auth: Handling Redirection & Cookies

[TheMekanic]

[ Hidden Content! ]

The Goal: Many sites redirect you 3 or 4 times (e.g.,

Code:

login

->

Code:

authorize

->

Code:

dashboard

) before giving you the final session. This tutorial shows you how to maintain the "State."
The Steps:

1. Follow Redirects: In your first
   
   Code:

   GET
   request, ensure "Follow Redirects" is set to TRUE.
   
2. Cookie Jar: Use a single "Global Cookie Container" so that tokens received in Step 1 are automatically sent in Step 2.
   
3. Intermediate Parsing: Sometimes the redirect URL itself contains a code (e.g.,
   
   Code:

   ?code=12345
   ). Use the ADDRESS variable to parse data directly from the URL bar rather than the page body.
