Login via PuTTY

[karabinaoglu]

Hello people

I am trying to connect to a website and see one specific page which requires username and password info.
We (abviously) can all do this thru browser.But I am trying to do it via putty. Protocol which is used to connect
to the site is Raw and port number 80. I need to send username and password info using POST / (as far as I know),
and of course web site uses some cookies. So I need to be able to get the cookies in order to use them in
validation process.
Any help would be very appriciated, As I have been working on it such a long time.
Thank you million

What is your reason for wanting to use putty? I'm thinking there is probably an easier solution.

If your intention is to script this, why not use wget or lynx?

I am also curious as to how/why you would use putty to do this. You can use wget from putty though and pipe the output to a file which would have the source in it.

Putty is just an ssh so unless you are trying to view what a page looks like from a box outside your network or something I don't see the advantage.
