Hi Folks,
I have run into a situation never encountered before that I suspect is trivial where I need to do the following; create a desktop program that will do the following:
1. Use a provided set of credentials to log on to a site (all info known like ASP page name, form variables, etc)
2. Retrieve the cookie
3. Automate navigation to a few pages and retrieve data
4. Log out
5. Run this 3-4 times a year so will be setting up as a scheduled task or something but obviously that's no rush :)
I suspect this is trivial but the one thing I've never done before is the whole POSTing of credentials. Am I correct that this is a simple matter of setting the form's action to POST and sending it back? All Web Connect work I've done is on the other side of things so just looking for a few pointers, steps to take and any 'gotchas' that you have encountered.
I just thought I'd ask the brains here before proceeding. :)
Doug
