I want to rip the contents of a pay website, but I have to log in to their web site on a web page to get access

Does anyone have any good tools for Windows for that?

I’m guessing that any such tools must have a built in browser, or be a browser plugin for it to work.

Httrack doesn’t allow me to log into the website. The only security feature it has is http authorization, and this particular website has a plain web login.

Depending on how they auth, this might give you a way to look like httrack is your existing logged in session: https://superuser.com/questions/157331/mirroring-a-web-site-behind-a-login-form

Interesting idea. Unfortunately the cookies weren’t in cleartext in the page headers. I found the cookies values in the networking values, pasted them into htttrack, but that didn’t work.

My html cookie-fu is weak.
