Need technical help with a personal project
#1
This has nothing to do with Minion - but I figure that the people here are quite technical and could give me some advice.

I am currently building a Free Company website for my own company.
Parsing data from lodestone is easy enough
However, I would like to get access to the Free Company chest information on Lodestone.
The problem around this is that it only displays while logged in.

That 'shouldnt' be a problem, since I have my own login details to use.

I am using C# (Aspx .net)
I have studied the HttpWebRequest and Response that occur during the authentication process
and I can get maybe half way through the login/auth process via HttpWebRequests

(Its really strange the things they do to keep their site secure
After you authenticate, they redirect you to a page, which has javascript in the head, that auto submits a form, in order to further redirect you)

Anyhow
After 2-3 redirects, I finally just start getting 403 forbidden or 404 not found errors.
I have tried storing cookies along the way etc

I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck getting a headless browser to login to lodestone?

I am trying to get my site to have a graph that shows income into the chest:
Eg A Line graph etc - at the moment its a manual exercise to update the database.
