Hi, newbie here asking first silly question. Is it possible with WW10.11 to login to a forum instance programatically? For example using a url, something like https://myforum/login.asp?user=Fred?Password=Bloggs. I've looked at the HTTP XML API and found the LoginMemberCookie and that looked close to what I was after but now I'm not so sure? Any tips appreciated.

No one got any ideas/suggestions? Not even a "no it can't be done" :)

It is not possible to login to Web Wiz Forums using a querystring as this could be used to hack in to member accounts.

You could use the API method LoginMemberCookie to get the data required to construct an auto login cookie for members.
