"Session has expired" error message

[wwboynton]

It seems like authentication is now failing.

I've tried removing the ~/.minty file and performing a fresh login, I've tried running it from another machine, I've tried logging onto mint in my browser to initiate a new session, but no luck.

Mint has made a lot of changes in their login lately, so I'm not surprised that login is failing. I'll try and fix it if I have some time, but I can't make any guarantees it will be soon.

I've done a bit more spelunking. If I can manage to find the time to fix it on my own, I'll submit a PR.

I've noticed two things so far, though I'm not a skilled Nokogiri or Mechanize user and don't know how the API used to behave, so you can correct me if I'm wrong.

The session expires, though I can't figure out why.

1. The first thing I noticed was the @token in client.rb was coming back nil. I inspected the mechanize results and dropped ['token'] from the end of the @token = line in client.rb (@token = page.at('input').attributes["value"].value) and it began grabbing the token from the structure again.
2. https://wwws.mint.com/refreshFILogins.xevent doesn't seem to be a call anymore. Whereas I can make a call to http://wwws.mint.com/app/getJsonData.xevent?task=accounts in my browser and get the expected JSON, doing that with the refreshFILogins call seems to come up with a 404. Maybe that's invalidating the session token?

I'll let you know if I find anything else. Thanks for responding! :)

Lots of good discussion here: https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi/issues/73

Mint doesn't look too promising anymore.
