Add login example

[matchdav]

I'd like a more straightforward way of passing webshot the session credentials, for example, I want to take a screenshot of a working document on save. Right now I just get a login screen.

Perhaps a working example of how to pass phantom the info.

I've done this , but it also relies on your framework to correctly take the cookie (aka if its encrypted)

Here is an example :

 var options = 
    {
    screenSize: {
        width: 1500
    },
        shotSize: {
            height: 'all',
            quality : 85
        },
        renderDelay: !req.query.delay ? delay : req.query.delay,
    phantomConfig: {
        'ignore-ssl-errors': 'true'
    },
    cookies: [
        {
        name: 'cookie_name',
        value: 'cookie_value',
        path: '/',
        domain: '.yourdomain.com'
        }
    ]
    };

Hey @lukepolo @matchdav I've not been able to get this to work. Maybe you could give me some advice.

In my case passport is my framework. I'm setting the cookies but they're being ignored. I'm not sure how to dig what is going on, is passport ignoring the cookie? Could I be using the wrong cookie? Was any of you using passport when you got this working, if you did.

These are the options I'm using:

var options = {
      cookies: [
        {
          name: 'session',
          value: req.cookies.session,
          path: '/',
          domain: 'localhost'
        }
      ]
    };

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

So passport is probably using encrypted cookies, make sure your cookie that your passing is also encrypted

Right now, I'm taking the cookies in the express request adding them to the cookies array.

If it's encrypted should be encrypted there as well. I'll ask the passport guys for advice.

Thanks!

Yah if its encrypted it should be encrypted there as well, since its basically simulating a client. You can actually grab the cookie from your browser and it should work
