Karl, Yes, and it does not actually cost you anything (open source), but it is another 3rd party product.
I had a similar problem some years ago. For password handling, which can end up being a cookie issue, I used curl - http://curl.haxx.se/.

It's not broken and doesn't need to be fixed. We enhance it with 2 developers and a consultant, who we bought the system from some decades ago. I've finally figured out that I don't need http:// on the front of the createRequest URL. That was breaking everything for my earlier attempts which were in 2005. Now it's much later than that, and my boss, the C.O.O. asked if I could figure out a way to retrieve some information off our primary vendor's website and put it up on a sales screen. Done and folks are thinking I walk on water. Now for the tough part, which I seem to remember someone mentioning recently, but since it wasn't on my plate yet, I didn't pay much attention... (Isn't that like keeping something for years, then deciding to throw it away, just to need it a few days after?) Is there a way to access a web page that requires a login and password and then retrieve data from another page behind the login page? Please say yes (without lying and without the need for me to purchase a third party product). TIA -- Karl Pearson Director of I.T. ATS Industrial Supply, Inc.
