I've been using LiveHTTPHeaders/Wireshark to analyze it. I see 3 redirects. This part works fine for HTTPClient. The problem is posting the resulting Yahoo login form. There's a bunch of hidden fields with GUIDs and it has a hash function onSubmit() of the form. It seems like I'd need to hack their form in order to passthru the login page.
