Question

I want to make an application for a web page that needs POST login. After that I’ll download an HTML page and read its tags and perform some tasks to display some information.

Before I begin, I want to know if there is a way login in to this page using POST, somehow programmatically and download the page.

Answer 1

this is a way to send post request:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.example.com/login.php");
try
{
    List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", "value"));          
    Httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
    String result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

you can send your information in order to login to page.!
