Commons HttpClient is legacy code - please consider using
HttpComponents HttpClient.

Have you had a look at the HttpComponents web-site?  http://hc.apache.org/
There's plenty of documentation there.

If you must use Commons HttpClient:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/oac.hc3x/trunk/src/examples/

Otherwise, HC HttpClient:

http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/examples.html

Both URLs have examples of form login.
