OK, I know C++ pretty well, but I don't know much about the wininet
library. I have figured out how to connect to a website, post forms,
and do quite a bit. But I am having trouble with authentication on a
particular website. Documentation is scarse, a simple example would be
great. Here is what I know:
The website has a username/password form, and it uses cookies for
authentication, my problem is with the cookie handling.

I challenge you to write a quick wininet example that just logs into a
website like myspace!

Thanks in advance.

Hi. You can write such sample yourself basing on code samples posted by me
on winhttp NG: in "WinInet Creating a Problem" topic.

Vladimir: Thanks for your reply, I found your posts on the topic
"WinInet Creating a Problem" however the thread ends and there is no
sample code. Can you please send me a direct pointer to the sample
code?

Thanks,
Chris D.
