Bypass a web login when userid and password are known.

[Ian Bicking]

There's a couple options, one of which is httpsession, available from
webunit.sf.net.  It does HTTP requests, with persistent cookies.  But
it's not really being maintained, if you look around there's some other
options... I think ClientForm is being pretty actively maintained:
