Hi,

Can anyone knows how to login to hotmail using curl?

Hotmail require javascript to login. Do they deliberately do that to avoid automation?

Can php execute javascript?

    There are workarounds to the javascript. It doesn't require javascript. Rather it utilizes javascript to help the user-experience.

    In order to circumvent this, you'll need to reverse engineer the javsacript onsubmit action of the form. I'm not going to say how to do this, as it most likely violates the terms for Hotmail, but it can be done. You just need to sit down and think about it.

      Yea, I want to be able to allow my visitors to check email from my website.

      I am creating a proxy website a modification of phpmyproxy. One by one I manage to "perfect" the webproxy so that all sites can be surfed as if they are directly from their own browser.

      Hotmail cannot.

        Perhaps instead of using a proxy for hotmail, you could use their IMAP connection and not use the proxy.

          I have no experience working with IMAP.

          Can we use curl for that?

            I guess in a way you could, but it's overkill since PHP already has [man]imap[/man] functions and there are open-source libraries that you could use to work with it.

              Also does PHP has built in pop function>?

                Not really. There's [man]vpopmail[/man] but that's not a part of the core since 4.3.
