Is there anyway to login on a website through a link, instead of actually logging in and hitting the submit button. I am trying to make a program that logs onto this game I play online, and I can't figure out how to log in with my program.
I am thinking something along the lines of http://www.example.com/login.php?action=login&username=myid&password=mypassword or something similar. Is that possible? Here is the view source of the page I am looking at:
<table class='loginInput'>
<caption><b>Login</b></caption>
<tr><td>
<form action='authenticate.php' method='post' name='login' onsubmit='return saveme();'>Username:
<input type='text' name='username' /><br />
Password: <input type='password' name='password' /><br />
Remember me?<br />
<input type='radio' name='save' value='1' />Yes
<input type='radio' name='save' value='0' />No
<input type='submit' class='theButton' value='Submit' />
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>
So is what I am looking for possible? Or does the method 'post' make it impossible? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance

[edit reason] switch to example.com - it can nevern be owned [/edit]
1. In your form handler script, change $_POST to $_GET. It will then use the variables appended to the URL
2. Put up a new page. Write a short script something like
$_POST[username] = $_GET[username];
$_POST[password] = $_GET[password];
header('Location: http://www.example.com/athenticate.php');
For an introduction to php superglobals, see [us.php.net...]
The GET and POST methods are entirely different and must be handled as such in any script that accesses them.

You don't say what language you are programing in, you can't do it with a simple link, many languages support post including AJAX in javascript.
username:password@www.example.com
