If it is only that much, you can use wget.exe to get the job done. 1. Find out what data is being posted and form them internally in batch file. 2. Find out which url the form is being posted and and 3. use wget to get that page with the post data you generated.
It is not easy, but can be done. You may need to use additional tool to find out what data is being posted. If you have to maintain a session and pass that information, it is even tougher task. Any powershell experts?
