Thank you Ken, I have read the mentioned link, but that doesn't help me ): I need to login to a website, which normally isn't a problem, but on the login page there's a hidden field with a specific value that needs to be send during the login (in addition to username and password). To send the value of this hidden field during the login process, I need to get it's value first - is that possible using httpclient? Normally I would say no as it is no header field and something that needs to be parsed (not a task of httpclient), but as httpclient can send forms, I am wondering if it maybe is possible and I yet just didn't see how to do that?
