Oh, but Matt, MACs are perfect, so what could you possibly mean?

Mike,

I can certainly see the utility here.  Like I said, we were both very tired
at that point and incapable of doing any reverse engineering of code.  The
instructions that Mark gave worked great...except that this won't work with
Safari.  I was told that it barfs somewhere late in some of the AJAX stuff.

"What that does is make an ajax request to the login.aspx, saving the source
in a string, updating the form data in the string with query param info,
writing this updated login form to the page, then submitting that form.

Safari seems to be tripping up in the second to last bit.  I clearly is
making the ajax request, I think its updating the code, and I think that's
where it goes no further.  This would take some time (with a Mac) to figure
out but I did confirm that the login works with Firefox (2.0.0.4 but prob
earlier versions too) on the mac."

I am thinking about using your code in order to avoid that.  Before we dig
into it, do you have any idea if you code works with Safari browsers?

Why the hell did Apple decide to create it's own browser based on code other
than Mozilla anyway???

Thanks,

Matt

It does require a tiny bit of VBScript understanding to adapt to your
environment.   The advantage is that the URL is not cached by the browser or
proxies; particularly if not using SSL.

The other file which was
provided by a user appears to work differently from what the article
mentions.  If you use that file, your username ends up being "<enteredUser>"
and "<enteredPassword>" which of course will result in an invalid login
message.  It doesn't seem to support being able to pass the username and
password via the querystring as the original 2006 file did so I am guessing
the user who made it intended for you to hardcode your username and password
in the "<enteredUser>" and "<enteredPassword>" locations.
