Test login

[Jay]

I'm trying to create a program for my work which will run in the
background and try to login to our servers. The program will log what
happens and report errors. Like if the page is not displayed or if
the resulting page is not displayed properly(which would happen in the
connection to the SQL server is lost).

I have a program so far that can read and document from the web, but
how do I get it to send back the username/password so that I can view
next page after the login?

Note: I will not be using a GUI, since this will just run as a cron
job to regularly test the servers.
