sign on without login formIt's not that hard to do. You need to do an HTTP
post to http://www.yourdomain.com:8383/login.cgi. Substitute
"www.yourdomain.com" with your domain (heh heh) and the 8383 with your port
# (8383 is the default) also you need to post the following values to the
form:
page= "login"
userid = "Username"
passwd = "Password"
Substitute the appropriate Username and password and you are all set.
Your best bet is to dynamically create a page that autosubmits a post
request by using javascript. Here's a sample page:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
<html>
<head></head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function submitForm() {document.WMLogin.submit();}
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad="submitForm();">
<form method="POST" action="http://www.yourdomain.com:8383/login.cgi"
name="WMLogin">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="login">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="Username">
<input type="hidden" name="passwd" value="Password">
</form>
</body>
</html>
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If you save this as an html file, it will work pretty much as is. Don't
forget the proper substitutions. I use ASP to substitute the values into
the form. The username is stored in a session variable and the password is
fetched from a database. You may need to strip (or modify the target of) the
logoff button from the webmail templates.
