[RESOLVED] Log into a website

[abstrait]

Hey. What code would I used to log into a website that uses method="POST" from vb6?

What I've done for an app that gets stock quotes is use the webbrowser control (hidden) to load the login page then enter the username and password using code and then simulate pressing the Login button.

Below is a snipet of my code. HTH

Dim SiteURL as String
 
SiteURL = "http://yoursite.com"
 
WB1.Navigate2 "" & SiteURL & "" 'load login screen
 
'while page is loading do nothing
Do While WB1.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
    DoEvents    
Loop
 
'Now fill in login details
WB1.Document.All("username").Value = "" & UserName & "" 'username
WB1.Document.All("password").Value = "" & Password & "" 'password
 
WB1.Document.getElementById("Submit").Click 'login button clicked
 
'while page is loading do nothing
Do While WB1.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
    DoEvents    
Loop
 
 
'At this point you should now be logged in
