Here's an article on reading the contents of a remote web page. Note the
section that talks about adding a <BASE> tag to the returned content.
http://aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2173
So, you can do two things:
1. Use the above to return the content of the page returned after logging
in, adding the appropriate <BASE> tag
OR
2. Parse the returned content for the pseudo-cookie embedded in each anchor
href/ form action. Then response redirect to the url of the resulting page,
appending the pseudo-cookie to the querystring.
