Refreshing HTTPS pages

Hi!
I have a link to a HTTPS page and a login for it.
Once logged in, I can view a page where I know that the information is updated aprox. once a half hour.
How can I make this page refresh automatically without being logged out.

I have made a try by making an index with two frames, one empty and one which is linked to the HTTPS login screen. In the index html code, I have added the following:


<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="180">

I had two problems when I did this:
1. I am not allowed to log in.
2. When the page would refresh, it would take me back to the login page (I have tested on my Yahoo! login, and I got thrown out when it refreshed).

Does anyone know how to help me? Or perhaps, point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
//Tommy

This sounds to me like a sane precaution for a secure connection - my bank uses something like it, as well as other online secure services I use.

I don't think there's going to be a way for you to get around it -- if the authorized user is at the monitor, they need to log in again. If some unauthorized person is at the machine, they can't.
