Many thanks to Fabrice for providing this wonderful site.

I'm using it in combination with a hand-held to drill the kanji I fail.  To do this, I filter the results of the http://kanji.koohii.com/status/export.php function to generate a custom list of the kanji that are imported into the hand-held for the day's practice.

I'd like to automate the process more and combine all the steps in a shell script, but so far I haven't been able to find a way to access the export page from the command line. 
Specifically, I'm not having any luck with any variation on
wget --user=my_username --password=my_password http://kanji.koohii.com/status/export.php

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can access this page from the command line?

Thanks in advance for any help,
a Montrealer

Using curl:

curl --cookie-jar cookies.txt --data "uname=***&passwd=***&submit=Login" http://kanji.koohii.com/login.php > /dev/null
curl --cookie cookies.txt http://kanji.koohii.com/status/export.php

Code:

wget -q http://kanji.koohii.com/login.php \
   --post-data="uname=***&passwd=***&submit=Login" \
   http://kanji.koohii.com/status/export.php -O - | perl -n -e \
   'BEGIN{ $a=0; } print if $a; $a=1 if /framenum/'

@sebastian

It's not nice to shout in all caps (even if you do it in binary). ^^

Just select a proper font like Georgia to get those nice old-style digits.

ASCII encoding is all the rage these days.

'niway, the provided solutions are actually very elegant. If it were me, I'd send raw HTTP through a direct telnet connection, if only because I'm reviewing from a Windows system.

I hope you're kidding.  Talk about using an elephant gun to kill a gnat.
BTW, most Unix tools are available for MS platforms, through Cygwin and other Gnu ports.

That was maybe true years ago, but Firefox switched from Netscape's cookie.txt format to a Sqlite3 database.

Code:

sqlite3 `/bin/ls -1t ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/cookies.sqlite | head -n1` \
 "select name,value from moz_cookies where host = 'kanji.koohii.com';"

And Windows even has its own assortment of tools, e.g. the Javascript back-end of the so called the Windows Script(ing) Host.

if, by "these days", you  mean the early 90s...

begin 600 message

end

WSH is a terrible, terrible thing. Microsoft did well by scrapping it for PowerShell. Too bad you have to jump all over MSDN to find what you are looking for. Then there are a plethora of "P" languages that would make for a far more simple solution. But seriously, writing one POST and one GET manually isn't the end of the world.

Code:

nc kanji.koohii.com 80 < POST /url HTTP\1.1^
Host: kanji.koohii.com^
Content-Length: didn't count^
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded^

userid=me&password=itsmypassword!

regex for the cookie and do a telnet GET. Not very pretty, but it sure beats the trouble of installing cygwin.

@cangy
That was meant as sarcasm, although a surprising number of high profile apps still use ascii. So many people fail at utf...

p.s. I don't have a uu decoder. *too lazy to boot up the VM*
