I already know how to read the contents of a web page in, but what I would like to do is actually log into a web page with a username and password, and then download the html contents of what comes back. &nbsp;Anyone know how to take care of this???<br />
<br />
I do realize the security concerns with having a password existing in plain text in my java code.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
