Unsing Java for a transparent servlet login?

Hi all

I have following problem, and I lack the programming experience!!

There exists a Web Server (by which I have no admin access), let's say
http://www.google.com, which has a Java Servlet for user
authentication - using a FORM object with POST method. Now, I have a
login/password combination available, e.g., Jon/MyPas.

My problem is, I want to build a html page, through which the contents
of this web server are made available to a predefined local group of
people. For example, I own the http://www.XX.com site, and there
exists there a Web Server. Me, an example user, enter my
login/password combination at http://www.XX.com, and the corresponding
web server after authentication, sends transparently the data
Jon/MyPas to http://www.google.com, and I have access to the password
protected documents.

I started with Javascript and it fully worked, the problem was that
the Jon/MyPas data had to be present in clear text in the HTML source
code, which I do not like. Then, I considered using Java so that the
login data are hidden inside an executable (e.g. an Applet), which
makes it a bit harder to find out.

Can anybody direct me towards the right course of action? Do I need
Servlet technology? Or can I build an applet which can build a virtual
HTML page with a hidden FORM object and send it to
http://www.google.com ???

Thanks a lot
