Getting a preview of a page

Hey all,

For my plugin I'm writing (a plugin to create content in some system and then push it to eZ Publish using SOAP) I want to create a preview to show in the external system.

The result I want is to have the actual HTML of a page, so I can show it in my external system in a brwoser. So, what I tried is to create a page (done) and set it to hidden (it's only a preview, done). Now I know eZ Publish has a preview function built in (versionview), but it requires you to log in, because it is in the admin part of eZ Publish.

So, I tried to log in the user and then get the HTML of the page by using the eZHTTPTool, but the eZHTTPTool seems to ignore my logged in user.

// Log in the user
$user->loginCurrent( );

// Fetch the data
$data = eZHTTPTool::sendHTTPRequest( "http://localhost/ezpublish/index.php/ezwebin_site_admin/content/versionview/148/2", 80, false, 'eZ publish', true );

No when I look at $data, it contains the HTML of the login page. I also inserted $user->isLoggedIn, to check if the user was logged in and it returned true.

How can I get the HTML of a hidden page without the user having to login manually?

Hi there,
may be you can set fake user with the ability to see the hidden nodes and log him in by script, get the date, and then log him out ?
