Any libraries encapsulating this functionality? Sure, one can read and write
http requests but Sean raises an interesting question. Those coming from the
ColdFusion world have a single mechanism called CFHTTP that can do what he's
asking, and in the ASP world there's an equivalent called ASPTear (as in
tearing off a page from the web). I wonder if that's what he was looking
for, some equivalent in Java. I'd be interested, myself.

I have done something very simular to this. Java certainly can handle the
intricacies of the matter. You will need to have someone that understands
http 1.0 and http 1.1 thoroughly though.

	Greetings.  I have a problem and I'd like to know if Java might be a
solution.  Here is a brief list of the details.  I need to have a scheduled
program that will go out to a https page, give a username and password, then
suck up all the documents that are embedded in the page.  If anyone could
provide their feedback I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you.
