Here's a way I've used successfully: Check the form for the site's login page.
Duplicate the form field names in a URL string in your "little app", setting
values for userid and password. CFHTTP submits the URL; you can do whatever
you want with the returned HTML.

Sounds like a job for a custom tag: parse for all <A HREF=...> tags and
onclick="window.location=..." URLs, returning a list of URLs. Have you checked
the Developer's Exchange? This sounds like a rather useful tag.
