Hello again: I just want to thank you again for the super help!
I am now able to remote login using GAE for java. I am able to retrieve the information from the pages I want. Instead of using the POST method I use the GET method to login and call the method as many times as I need with new URLs to fetch the pages I want but definitely the help on how to get the cookie header and use it in the subsequent fetches was precious so thanks again for the super google help. ;-) best regards!
