I'm wondering if there is anyone who can solve the following problem.

I am trying to write a script that will iterate through several consecutive subpages within a website, such as

http://www.blah.com/get.subpage.id?=00001
http://www.blah.com/get.subpage.id?=00002
http://www.blah.com/get.subpage.id?=00003
etc etc.

the problem is that "blah.com" requires a user login via button push before you can have access to subpages. so... i can write the script fine, the problem is giving the script process access to the site, because there is no url equivalent to the button push.

I there anyway I could accomlpish this by perhaps loading mozilla on the desktop, going to the site myself and logging in, and then running the script in the command line. There must be some way to associate the script with the browser.

does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I appreciate any help. thankyou much.

Does the website accept http://username:password@www.blah.com/.....
?

There must be a bit of reference to what URL the button takes you to, look at the code to see if it is a standard post/get form, javascript or possible flash.
