POSTing to a password-protected web form?

Hello

I need to automate uploading some information to a web site through
a form and the POST method. This part of the site is members-only,
which means that the code has to support cookies, ie. behave like a
web browser.

Before I write this in eg. Python, I was wondering if someone knew of
a way to do this in VB (VB5, preferably).

Thank you.

You might want to have a look at a thread from last week. It has an
example on how to fill in a textbox and click a submit button. See:
"How to submit a IE form?"
