In theory, it's possible, however it needs more than just the Rhino
engine. The page has to be parsed into the DOM and the script(s)
extracted, then the appropriate methods called.

The resulting page then has to be re-examined to decide what to do,
possibly calling more Javascript.

Use the Proxy to record the login, and then work out how to extract
any extra data that is added to the page by the scripting.
