    Using HTTP protocol

    i was wondering if it is possible to create a program that could access a specific internet site. for example to login automatically with a username and password.

    Does anyone know how to do this????

    you make a connection to the web server, then use HTTP to get what you want. if a user/pass is sent using the GET method, then you can put them in the URL, like: http://site.com/logn.php?u=user&p=pass
    HTTP query looks like this:
    GET /index.htm HTTP/1.1
    User-Agent: Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; Opera/3.0; Windows 95/NT4)
    Host: site.com

    there's an rfc for http here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2068.html

    Well making your way through this lot will no doubt be valuable in the long run.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
