You can do that if the site uses a Linux protected directory but not where there's a login form. What I usually do is copy the form, expand any relative links to absolute ones, change the username and password fields to hidden fields with the values set and then embed the form on my local home page so that there's just one submit button to click on. Sometimes you need to make two attempts because the site is expecting to find a cookie which isn't there the first time round. This method used to work for SourceForge but now it's giving me a 403 error, probably because they've changed the form. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:[email protected] I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
