How to script a browser login?

[Nitin]

I'm new with autoit so plz just point me in the right direction ....

the thing is that whenever i connect to my university Wifi lan ... i have to login from a browser page before i can access the internet ...

and then i have to re-login every 37 minutes or so ... ... so i need a script that can act as a web browser ... access the page and send the login data...

how do i go about it?

p.s. the page is simple http not the secure type

There are plenty of examples. Read the _IE* functions in the helpfile and search the forums for "Browser login" or something similar.

Like this, for example.

#include <IE.au3>
; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.hotmail.com")

; get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")

$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
_HTTPRequest($oHTTP, "POST", "http://site.com/login.php", "username=wut&password=kthx")

Func _HTTPRequest($oHTTP, $oMethod, $oURL, $oData = "")
    $oHTTP.Open($oMethod, $oURL, False)
    If $oMethod = "POST" Then $oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
    $oHTTP.Send($oData)
    Return $oHTTP.ResponseText
EndFunc
