Accessing web page with login from VB

[boinske]

I am learning how to automate access to web pages in VB6 using the OpenURL method of the INet control.  This works well, and I am able to pull pages down in my apps and parse out the data that I'm looking for.  I can access any page with this method, unless it requires a login (user ID and password).  I'm trying to figure out how to "fake" what the browser does when you enter this information while surfing normally.  I did manage to find a "TCP Viewer" utility that allows you to monitor data going back and forth over the connection, but it seems to behave unpredictably and I can't coax the behavior out of it that I need to see specifically what data is going back and forth during the login process at a typical web site.  (This IS a site to which I have authorized password access and know the password).  Any suggestions would help; a code snippet or working example would be great.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Don Boinske
