I have a application which does this. First i tried to write it
using Perl(LWP module) . but perl has some serious problem in encoding
the request. So now i have a small program written in VB which uses
WebBrowser Control (i.e. programming with IE). This works fine but
its a bit heavier than the perl version. If u want it i will send it to u .

Try reading LWP documentation & Perl FAQ if u are using perl. MSDN
is the best source if u are using VB.
