Hi,

is it possible to "open" such HTTP-Link via Perl Script?

http://<em-server-ip>/emapp/EMAppServlet?device=SEP<mac>&&userid=<userid>&seq=<user-pin>

I don`t want really to open a web browser with this link but I want to make the EM profile login via the perl script and this HTTP-Link.

Hi Michael,

Check out the LWP Perl mod.  Here's some structure for code I would use while doing POST/GET.  This might get the job done for EM, but I've never tried it specifically.  You'll have to install the LWP module and dependencies if you haven't already.

    my $url="https://AddressOfTheService";
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    my $header = HTTP::Headers->new;
    $header->header("Content-Type","application/xml");
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $url, $header);
    $req->authorization_basic("Username","Password");
    my $response = $ua->request($req);

Also, there's a forum for the EMAPI where you might find more help:
