Which "WebServices API" would allow me to access a client or vendor's web page 
and automatically upload or download data without human intervention.  In the 
same way that I can through Htppclient?

Tom,

HttpClient is not a browser. It is content agnostic actually. If you are 
looking for a JavaScript engine you may want to check out Rhino.

However, I recommend you don't try to emulate a web browser and use a 
WebServices API rather than an interface designed for humans.

Cheers
