JB,

Here is the url of the log in page.

http://ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/mayaLogin?m_PR=4&m_CBURL=http:// www.quote.com/qc/downloads/default.aspx

The source does indeed have a post:

<form name="form1" action="http://ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/ mayaLogin" method="POST">

The only mention of a cookie is in a line concerning automatic logins checkbox. Perhaps that is why every time after I have logged in once, I don't have to again on the same browser:

"By checking "Sign me in automatically," your browser will temporarily save your member name and password, allowing you to visit other Lycos Network sites without having to log in and reenter your account information. The "auto-login" setting will stay active for 90 days, or until you log out, whichever comes first."

So perhaps the post will work, but I might have to use it many times without having cookie support.

Please take a look at the source and let me know what you think and how the script to test this would look.

Thanks,
Dennis

The reason you get the login page is that the site is using cookies to
maintain your "session" status.

you can't jump to that conclusion until you can see the source code.

in all websites I've built that maintained sessions, I've never used cookies.
