Parse webpage after login and link

[CJason]

Here is what I want to do:

1) Accept a username and password
2) Send the above information to a webpage to login
3) Traverse to a specific webpage, via link(s)
4) Parse the HTML from the resulting page

I can do #1 with no problems...and I can probably figure out how to parse HTML (with HTML:arser, I'm assuming). But, I have no idea where to begin with #2 and #3...nor, how to actually GET the HTML source from the resulting page.

Can someone tell me how to do this? Or, at least, where I can start my research on how to do this? I am VERY "example driven", so any example resources would be GREAT!!!

Thanks in advance!
