However i have had the cookie named "sid" with my SessionId as value. I have verified that cookie is well registered in my browser. When i go to this url when i'm logged i can see the XML document in the browser. I think it's a problem with my cookie. Someone can help me please? Thanks I try to get XML document but each time, i have the following exception : Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://na1.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.ReportList.
However i have had the cookie named “sid” with my SessionId as value. I have verified that cookie is well registered in my browser. When i go to this url when i’m logged i can see the XML document in the browser.

I think it’s a problem with my cookie.
Someone can help me please?

I could be wrong. passtu - Not that I'm aware of, and that's something I'd be highly surprised to see exposed. My impression is that the only reason this information is exposed is because it is needed for the SFDC Excel plugin. Because that tool doens't need to know the information at that detail, it's probibly not exposed.

Thanks for sharing, heretic. However, the csv format data is not enough for me. I want more lower level information, such as "query string used to generate the report", "name of tables and columns and conditions used to generate the report", etc. Is it possible for me to access these infomation from some URL? Thanks in advance. The article is very helpful. Thanks for sharing, heretic.

I have my cookie set on my page. I am just falling down at how I would "send that cookie": sforceClient.login('user','password'); document.cookie = "sid=" +sforceClient.sessionId; then how do I get it in the XMLhttpREquest?

What you need to do is set a cookie and send the sid as a cookie (named sid).
