Example Scripts and Practice Pages
We’ll explore three types of online authentication. For each case, you’ll receive examples of authentication scripts designed specifically to work with password-protected sections of this book’s website. You can experiment (and make mistakes) on these practice pages before writing authenticating webbots that work on real websites. The location of the practice pages is shown in Table 20-2.
