What about curl.exe?
Nowdays I use it only to GET some web pages (exchange rates) and
download ZIP files from web.
But in the past I wrote a paradox program for automatic
answering questions in a music quiz.
* GET web page with question, parse it
* if question is not yet in my database, then store it and select first from
3 answers.
* POST back answer
* GET result and new answer
if result is OK, then remember answer to this question fo future.
if result is not OK, remeber this wrong result and not select it in future
* POST back next answer
* GET result
* POST back email and name.
From 100.000 answers more than 20.000 werw mine, but I was disqualified.
:-(
curl.exe can write and read session state from TXT file.
So on first GET you save session ID in header.txt, when doing
POST you tell curl.exe to use session from header.txt
