Logging into a Website through a Visual Basic App

[MurphmanL]

Is it possible using the Login Boxes in Visual Baisc, to log in a user to a specific website, eg:
If i wanted to login to hexus.net and i put my Username as MurphmanL and pass as : eggs (thats an example btw ) and then hit ok, would there be possible code so then hexus would recognize me as logged in, wihout loggin in on the actual site itself? If this is possible and anybody knows the code, i would really appreciate it if they would contact me asap as i would really need this if its a posisble function

Yup - it is possible - have a look at the MSXML4 documentation (if you haven't got the platform SDK, get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/...sdk/sdkupdate/ ).

Theres an object in there called IXMLHTTPRequest. Too much detail too really go into here, but you basically need to just set the HTTP Headers with your username and password.

If you need more help - let us know, and I'll dig out the code from the last time I did this.
