Accessing a webpage with labview

[jyang72211]

I need to access a device through its website, by accessing https://device_ip/ through internet explore.  When i get into the website, I need to do the following.

1. Click a link to access next page.

2. enter user name and password when a pop-up dialog shows up and click ok.

3. edit some text on the site and click send.

How do I do that in LabVIEW?  I have the internet toolkit, FYI.

Thanks!

It looks like the http client palatte has both secure and unsecure login options- Haven't used them but I bet they work

You indicated IE, so you must be running Windows. Is it adequate in your case to simply place an IE ActiveX Control on the VI's front panel? Then it would be no different than pulling up IE.

Or, are you trying to automate the entering of the username and password, edit, and clicking of the send? Both of those are basically POST actions (though the latter could be a GET), so you could just do that as well. Examples have been posted on doing POST and GET operations.

Hello, jyang!

Did you get this to work for you?
