Is it possible to send requests to forms in websites? I wanted to script something that reads, from the WinNT space, the computer names (Dell service tags) then sends the tag to the dell website (which requires authentication) then pulls the source code from the warranty info and writes it to a file.
I already know, once I get in the warranty link, the source code I need to pull. Any ideas how to do this?
 
Don't think its part of the normal request headers, you may have to script some ActiveX type object to get further interaction with the registry to get this info

Any one have a techie job in Toronto, I need to work...being laid off sucks!
 
You could try writing a vbscript and using the InternetExplorer.Application object go through the DOM to populate the values of the form and hit submit.

Of course the best way is to change the site on the server to expose an interface to let you do this in a more robust way.
