AutoLogin

• The login page can be accessed by http://192.168.249.1:1000/login?
• The source code (HTML file) has a form with hidden inputs along with inputs for username and password
• The hidden inputs are:
  1. magic - a dynamically generated token
  2. 4Tredir - its the login url, it is static
  3. - a blank input with blank value, can be ignored while making POST request
• The scrapping cant not be done using bs4 in python cause the magic token is being generated dynamically with the help Javascript, thats why we need to use selenium along with webDriver
• Using of selenium requires webDriver to be installed, which can be a hassle to install, and there is also multiple Browser issue, that is why it will be better to achieve the auto login with the help of Go along with scraping package colly
• The challenge is to make it automatic.
