Automate web login via dos batch

[slyclam]

Hi,

Need help in scripting a batch file for automatic login in a website (for example www.gmail.com). The batch file will contain the username & password for logging in.
It's a windows system.

Please help.

You can't send keystrokes to a GUI using batch. You could try the SendKeys Method in a VBScript.

I'm not sure if this meets your goal or not but Thunderbird will send and receive email through gmail and store your username and password so it all happens by a single click.

Otherwise, there are applications like Roboform that manage your online user accounts.

@GermanOne: Thanks for the info. I'll try to find a solution to my problem using this.

@shnerdly: That was not what I meant. Thanks anyways.

You need to provide more information about what exactly you want to do.

One option you could try would be finding a way to get cURL to do this; it lets you make HTTP requests from a command line or a script file; although I don't know if it will work with Gmail because Google uses cookies and advanced authentication, not just standard HTTP authentication.

If you elaborate on why you want to do this from a batch file we can probably help you find a way to do it.
