I have 2 sites - mainsite.com and remotesite.com. User gitte logs into
remotesite.com
Then the user goes to mainsite.com
Now mainsite.com asks remotesite.com if user gitte is logged in (by using
XMLRPC)
My problem is to get that information. When visiting remotesite.com by
XMLRPC, I don't have access to any of the __ac cookies that was set when
user gitte logged in at remotesite.com (of course - it's not user gitte
visiting remotesite.com when I use XMLRPC).
So any ideas on how to achieve the login information would be very
appreciated :-))
