[Xitami] RE: Stopping and restarting (or resetting) Xitamiwithperl

[Francis Turner]

For those that care here is the script - obviously change 'username',
'password' to the right values.

Normally you would do the VHOST creation foirst then call this script.
I don't see why you can't do this during the CGI call although I admit
I haven't tested it to see if that works. Leaving this script to run
as a dedicated service is left as an exercise to the student but some
hints can be found in my realplayer controller code

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://localhost/admin');
$req->authorization_basic('username', 'password');
my $response = $ua->request($req);

if ($response->is_success) {
     $_ = $response->as_string;  # or whatever
     die "no admin in $_" unless m!FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/admin([^"]+)"!s;
     print "got first round - $1\nsecond... ";
     $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://localhost/admin'.$1);
     $req->authorization_basic('username', 'password');
     $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
     $req->content('jsaction=~A47.0');
     $response = $ua->request($req);
     print $response->status_line;
}
else {
     die $response->status_line;
}
