auto login web page

[JUSTIN.YEH]

Hi: I am writing a LV test program to test a layer 2 switch. At some point, my test program must access switch's console web page to read or write data. Problem is that the web page required login. I have tried the simple attach Username & Password to the URL method. It does not work. I can not automatically send Username & Password to complete the login process. Apprently, there are some security implemented. I have called the SW guy who wrote the UI. He either can't or don't want to help.
I have to admit that I am not strong with internet programming. Is there any other way???

Hello Justin,
You may want to look at the HTTP Protocols Example program. It should contain information on how to post data to a server using both the Get and Post methods. It may be a good starting point for your program. I hope this helps!
