Scott, have a look at the page source for the login page. You may find that there's a javaScript function that does the POST.

As an example of something that I did a while ago, I wanted to donload a page that had a form (set by buttons) that set a date. So I had an applescript in a custom prop:


set tScr to "
document.ResultSel.Day.selectedIndex = dd;
document.ResultSel.Month.selectedIndex = mm;
document.ResultSel.Year.selectedIndex = yy;
ResultsValidate()"

tell application "Safari"
do JavaScript tScr in document 1
end tell


which my app would copy into a variable, replace the dd/mm/yy values with the needed real values, and 'do as applescript'. If you're on Windows, maybe there's a Windows way to do this?

Having said that, the site has changed since then, and it no longer works...which is one of the problems with trying to interact with designed-for-humans sites programmatically.

Best of luck,

Mark

More on this problem...

The site uses an HTML post form to log in which points to "index.php". I've
tried passing the username and password to the address of the page
("targetserver.com/index.php") within the URL string, like the above. But I'm still getting the browser's security alert message and being dumped on
the site's home page (default). What else can I try?

Thanks & Regards,
