NYTimes - New way to login!!
Alex described how to use cookies for logging in to NYT. Some people had the problem that the cookies expired occasionally.
I found another way to login to NYT which always works : http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login?is_continue=true&OQ=&USERID=<username>&PASSWORD=<pwd>&log=Log+In&SAVEOPTION=YES&URI=<urltoarticle> <username> = your login username <pass> = your login password <urltoarticle> = the actual url to the nyt article or page that you want to download with isilox and that requires registration Note that you don't have to fuss about cookies this way. Updated: Url now working! Updated again: Url *really* now working! Enjoy! Last edited by TadW; 07-23-2003 at 08:26 AM. |

I tried your login. I may be using it incorrectly because I didn't get the desired result.
The login got me to the "Regsiter at NYTimes.com" page and didn't auto-sign me in. I then signed in on the page using my username and password and pluggged in your login again. I then got the opening NYTimes page-- not the specific page I entered under <urltoarticle>. Additionally the page was not in an Palm/iSilo friendly format. Please clarify. What am I doing wrong?

I tried the revised url in your first post with this NYTimes page URL:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/te...tml/index.html I again got the NYTimes opening page. Marty |

Sorry I fixed that. Instead of threadid 8 it should have been threadid 81 (something got cut off).

This method doesn't work when trying to access the articles on the Circuits page (http://www.nytimes.com/pages/technol...its/index.html). Is there a way that it can work for me? I only want the articles on the Circuits page.

OK, it still doesn't work. Is this URL correct?
http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login?is...its/index.html My username is chunlin66 and my password is yunliz, so is that correct? If it is, then it must be my settings. I have four cookies listed, and sending and receiving cookies is enabled. 1 link depth, no special options with that. Help! |

Thank you Alex.
Looks like we will have iSilo access to the NYTimes again! I assume you are preparing a method to prepare separate ixl files for each NYT page we choose (Circuits, National, Technology, Business, Arts, Metro, OpEd, Magazine, etc)-- each customized for iSilo format. Marty |
