How to check if a credential is correct with wget? (javascript rendered forms)

Question

I'm trying to use wget to check if a login was succeed or failed. But instead I'm getting code 200 even when I input the wrong username or password:

wget --user=username --password=password -O myfile https://example.com

Any idea how to make this works? Thanks.

I tried:

wget --user=myusername --password=mypassword https://my.min-fx.tv/login -S --delete-after

ETA: the webpage is javascript

It's a javascript login. If you disable javascript in the browser, you will see you can't submit the forms — Gilles Quénot, May 17 '23 at 00:35

Is there a particular text from output HTML in case of good credentials? — Gilles Quénot, May 17 '23 at 01:06
In my cases its always output code 200 no matter what the credentials are, or no credentials at all. I'm malding — Thành Nguyễn, May 17 '23 at 01:20
I don't care the http return code I ask the **output** in text or HTML: `wget -O- https://........` with **good credentials** — Gilles Quénot, May 17 '23 at 01:22

the option is --user and --ask-password wget will ask for the credentials. Below is an example.

wget --user=username --ask-password -O myfile https://example.com

The page is javascript rendered. Not possible to send request. And this is not an answer. The mininum is to copy the code. OP already knows how to send user/password, this is not the question – Gilles Quénot May 17 '23 at 01:03
where did you see a JS rendered here ? and i put the to where i found the right solution for him don't decrease the answer like the tag is for linux. – Stevy May 17 '23 at 01:08
Test to go to login page and disable javascript: in Firefox `about:config` : `javascript.enabled == False`, then refresh, try to send the forms. Nothing happens. Not possible via `wget` IMHO. – Gilles Quénot May 17 '23 at 01:10
