    I know I know, that there are many tutors and discussions on how to screenscrape authenticated pages. And trust me ive seen them all...

    But what if the pages are not ASP.NET which use ViewState mechanisms for post backs Hmm. I'll give an example site:

    http://www.wireless.att.com/my-account

    This site uses some olamexecute form which I dont know what is and never heard of. And also note that this site uses 128 bit cipher stregth

    certificate. I tried tracing the GET and POST of the site using Fiddler but to no avail. Is it possible to screen scrape these pages using Javascripts

    by submitting the credentials by using the id of the controls and then sending an enter keystroke something like an automation macro. If any of you guys

    have done it please help me!!!!

    Thanx in advance....

    Dont get this wrong here its not going to be used for any inlegitimate or illegal activities.

    The intensions are not to hack in to someones account or cheat anyone...

    If you still think that its inlegitimate or illegal please forgive me for posting such question, but

    the intensions are purely honest behind scraping authenticated pages... Trust ME!!! Angel
