for some websites, it seems you can login with the username and
password in the URL through the post. Example, for yahoo.com, below,
you can repace the username with your own and mypassword wtih your own
and then you are automatically logged in.

http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?login=username&passwd=mypassword&done=http://www.yahoo.com

Im trying to do this now for other websites.
gmail.com
walgreens.com

I could use some help if anyone knows how
I cant get the post method to wrok for those sites.

Ive also tried downloaded ethereal which I found by searching previous
posts o n"post" and autologin but cant find how to get anyting
substantial out of it which would help.


The string after the ? is used on the server side for scripting purposes.
Not all sites are designed the same way or use the same scripting methods so
it won't work in general.
