Auto login & extract data from a website
This isn't about any website in particular but various websites require you to login before you can access your account.
I want to know how applications (after you supply your username/password) manage to login into the websites and extract your account details?
I can use a webrequest to request a webpage but how do i login before i do that (programatically)?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Depends on the specifice orgs - the ones that are OK with it might even provide services to make it either (like Google exposing its map API) and give you easier alternatives than logging on.
If they are NOT, it is definitely a no-go.

Probably a no-goer
