can't login

Did something with authentication change again? I'm unable to log in.

It seems like it has something to do with the initial cookie. When I copy/paste a cookie that I get from Fedex.com into the login request in the program, it works. Maybe it's not passing along the cookie from the initial request?

Got it.

After "r1 = session.get(LOGIN_REFERER)" you need to make a POST request to https://www.fedex.com/_bm/_data (check the FedEx site to see the data it sends). After that, it works again.

Unfortunately that value is timestamped and expires. I got it working by using Selenium to get the homepage to do its thing with all the cookies, then passing the cookies from Selenium to Requests. Not great, but worked.

I made some attempts as well, but I think there's some Javascript setting cookies, which is why Selenium works. We should probably convert over to that approach (just like was done with python-myusps)
