Hi,

I am trying to write a perl script that will automatically
authenticate to a web site so that I can download files from the site.
 However, the site posts username/password information to a jsp, not a
cgi. I have read the LWP::UserAgent and LWP::Simple documentation,
and had no problem writing a script to authenticate to another site,
but I haven't had any success here. Any suggestions? If you're
interested, the authentication page page in question is:

https://www.affymetrix.com/site/login/login.affx

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeremy
