WebRequest() login does not work with mql5.com anymore?

[Georgiy Liashchenko]

Hello everyone,

 I ve been using WebRequest code provided by mt4 support and it was running perfectly, until today...

Server returns 200 which means authorization is ok, but even if i put wrong log/pass it is still 200. And cookie does not creates an auth= field, therefore authorization fails. So basically this code doesn't work anymore or i just don't understand something :( Please help to solve it, or suggest any other website which allow simple authorization. Thanks

 

bool Authorization()
  {
   if(IsTesting())return(true);
string   Login="login";        //Your account
string   Password="password";          //Your account password
   int    res;     // To receive the operation execution result
   char   data[];  // Data array to send POST requests
   string authurl="https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_login";
   string str="Login="+Login+"&Password="+Password;

   ArrayResize(data,StringToCharArray(str,data,0,WHOLE_ARRAY,CP_UTF8)-1);
   ResetLastError();
   res=WebRequest("POST",authurl,NULL,0,data,data,str);
   if(GetLastError()==4060)
     {
      Alert("You have not added ",authurl," to URL permition list in the ( Tools > Options > Expert Advisors tab )");
     }
   if(res!=200)
     {
      Print("Authorization failed!, LastError="+(string)res);
      return(false);
     }
     Print(res);
     Alert(str);
     
   res=StringFind(str,"Set-Cookie: auth=");
   if(res<0)
     {
      Alert("Login/Password failed!");
      return(false);
     }
   else Print("Authorized");

   return(true);
  }

How to understand that the athorization with another website for example went successful? 

Thats what i get, login/pass are correct

Metaquotes probably changed the login method.

Why do you need to connect to mql5.com with WebRequest() ?

So, that one can upload images directly to the wall using a software which can run automatically all the time. It will load different images at different times.

That is exactly what it does int he sample program provided in the web request explanation page.

ok, I was really wondering then why those two code examples are still available on mql5.com web sites which are actually published by mql5.com.
