change detection on sites which require authentication/use session cookies

[kimpenhaus]

Hi all,

as the title says, I am looking for help on how to detect changes on a password protected site?

I've tried to set an Authorization-Header with scheme Basic but with no luck.

When examining the network traffic with browser tools, I see that after authorization there is a cookie set:

any chance to crawl for changes on sites like that?

thanks 🙏🏼

Not sure if any sites you're accessing use this format, but this works for me:

It's also used in sonarr/radarr/lidarr/jackett, so it may help you out.

Thanks for your reply!

I've tried something similar but unfortunately it is not working...

I tried everything I could think of, and I can't get basic auth to work either. Cookie: works fine, but not Authorization:.

I just gave a like to the [feature] add basic auth password example issues, and it's been a long time since dgtlmoon posted it and your comment, so maybe add another comment to bump it. :-)
