Re: How to implement a automatic login function

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your input.

I think what you want to do is a bit different. What you want to do is like
a web client which programmatically send http post request to send login
credentials and pass the login page at server-side, just like many web
crawler does, correct?

For programmatically post http form data (through webrequest component in
..net), here are some useful web links:

#ASP.NET: Post Data Programmatically with "Webscraping"
http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/3645506

#Programmatically Posting Data to ASP .NET Web Applications
http://dndj.sys-con.com/read/45127.htm

#Https form post using Httpwebrequest brings back the same page.

Hope this helps.
