Login to web mail - libUrlSetAuthCallback?

[VHD]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't realise that libURL had libUrlSetLogField. Very nice. 
It does something very similar to liveHTTPHeaders for use with Firefox.

The problem seems to be related to cookies, so I am not sure what the next step is.

Ben

P.S: Thanks for maintaining libURL.
