Title: automatic login to ISP via web-page
Post by: Lasse on August 24, 2001, 02:36:01 AM

I am connected to an Intranet. To access Internet I have to "login" via a web-page

This is what I need my e-smith router/gateway to do automatically since it is that server/device that should do that task.

To login you have to access a webpage (SSL) and there fill in two fields, username and password.

This can probably be done at the command line using lynx.  Something like:

lynx https://www.myisp.com/login/loginform.cgi?user=username&pass=password

Obviously, that's a made-up example, but something reasonably similar should work.  Once you've got it figured out, adding it to the system startup shouldn't be too hard.

There is a program made for this specific situation and it's called LF Connection Keeper.

Can be downloaded from http://www.lfdomain.com

It's designed for use with the Swedish Telia ADSL. But can easily be configured to work with other isp's too.
