HowTo feed AcctName and Password into a website via HTTP

[J. Richards]

I'm doing QA testing of a  WebApp.  First step before crawling the links is to enter  the two  texts mentioned.

Do I extract the login page using: 
import sys, os, urllib, urlparse
Then figure out the HTTP string and then feed that into a HTTP Post ?

Or do I use Forms, CGI or Pamie ??

Whats the best way on Linux?
Whats the best way on Windows.

Thank you.
