hi all,

I need to code a program....any language (C++ or Java would be fine)

i have solved this problem using Sockets...but my proxy blocks it....i cant use any third party softwares to get around the Proxy

i have tried the setProperties method of java to pass data through my proxy

basically what i want is...

i need to first go to a site and login there
then go to some other page...and submit a form over there...


since the user is authenticated....we need to capture the session ID the first time we enter the site....


this process has to be scheduled every 2 hrs


can a ny one help???

Gather

VB or php knowledge or java for that matter
a good browser (IE will do, of course, if you get owned by somebody else, bad luck!)
httptracer
the http rfc (google those exact words).

Put them together and it wont take you more than 5 days to put together a working program. If you dont quit, that is.
