Programmatic Login

Question

I'm not sure if this works better for StackOverflow, but here goes:

I want to programmatically log in:
http://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/index.cfm?true

I tried grabbing the log at the url using fiddler2 and HttpFox , but to no avail.
Is this the server side of the script that I cannot capture? If so, how can I log in?

Answer 1

You will not see the "login URL" because the form uses the POST method. The method you need to use depends on the language. In Python you can use urllib for example.
