[2008] Web parsing with username and password
Hey guys, first time posting here, so go easy on me
I'm pretty familiar with parsing information from websites (downloading source, extracting information) inside of a vb.net app, but I have run into a problem that I'm not sure how to solve.
I have a client that needs an application to parse information from a website, but the website requires a login. He knows the login information, so is there anyway to set up the program to access the website, enter a password, hit submit, and the parse the information?

Re: [2008] Web parsing with username and password
Thanks for that info, it looks interesting. I had found a half assed way of doing it through DOM, but it seemed very hacky and I wanted to use webrequests. However, perhaps I am doing something wrong, but will this work with form based authentication?
If so, how do I find out what authentication method it uses (basic, kerberos, etc)
Thanks again

Re: [2008] Web parsing with username and password
Is it a popup login form, or an HTML login form on the website?

Re: [2008] Web parsing with username and password
Is it possible for you to share the site URL? Does the form use a post / get parameter?

Re: [2008] Web parsing with username and password
Unfortunately I cannot share the URL.
The form is using a post:
Code:
<form name="Login" method="POST" action="/siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc>
