Oleg, Thanks for the reply.
yes i have looked at that beginners link
examples just help me learn. I can see the NameValue pairs used in the
tutorial.
I was just curious as to the form you were directing them to.
I can't seem to find where you are trying to log in at developer.java.sun.com.
this is the javascript function and form i am using.
I can just make a get request to page2.html but that just bypasses the whole
login.
I want to simulate filling out the form.
Can you help me understand what NVPairs i would need to do this.
I thought i would just need one for the password. is it not that simple?
function pasuser(form) {
if (form.pass.value=="123456") {
location="page2.html"
} else {
alert("Invalid Password")
}
}
<form method="POST" >
<center>
<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="12" border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2"><center><h1><i><b>Login
Area</b></i></h1></center></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>Password:</b></i></h1></td><td><input name="pass"
type="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><input type="button" value="Login"
onClick="pasuser(this.form)"></center></td></tr></table></center>
I am just using this simple script for my index.html page. I know it is very
insecure. I am starting small to try to grasp using HttpClient correctly.

No, it is not impossible. You just need to manually simulate the effect
of a form submission performed through a javascript invocation.

Have you looked at the HttpClient primer? If not, please do. It explains
in details how to go about form-based authentication using HttpClient
