Question : HttpWebRequest Form Authentication Not Getting Past Login Page

Hello,

I am trying to use the POST method with a HttpWebRequest object while passing in real login credentials and am failing to get past the login page. (The credentials down there are real, but not mine personally =D)

I got the same code to work for Totsy.com but cannot get it to work for Zulily.com.

Any help in getting past the login page so I can retrieve the after login page would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mohammed

Answer : HttpWebRequest Form Authentication Not Getting Past Login Page

no, decode can't do a "between", but you can use case

select ms.pid, pe.eligid,ms.fname,ms.lname,ms.dob,me.coveragebegindate,
pa.programid, rf.programname,pa.workflowstatus,rfw.programworkflowstatusdesc,
case when pa.workflowstatus between 100 and 400 then 'Active' end
