Getting a URL form a "logged in" site

[Dennis Brown]

JB,

Here is the url of the log in page.

http://ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/mayaLogin?m_PR=4&m_CBURL=http:// 
www.quote.com/qc/downloads/default.aspx

The source does indeed have a post:

<form name="form1" action="http://ldbauth.lycos.com/cgi-bin/ 
mayaLogin" method="POST">

The only mention of a cookie is in a line concerning automatic logins  
checkbox.  Perhaps that is why every time after I have logged in  
once, I don't have to again on the same browser:

"By checking "Sign me in automatically," your browser will  
temporarily save your member name and password, allowing you to visit  
other Lycos Network sites without having to log in and reenter your  
account information. The "auto-login" setting will stay active for 90  
days, or until you log out, whichever comes first."

So perhaps the post will work, but I might have to use it many times  
without having cookie support.

Please take a look at the source and let me know what you think and  
how the script to test this would look.

Thanks,
Dennis
