access webpage programatically

[nelg87]

 I have to access an Ethernet Switch Web page to enable certain settings but I have to do this programatically as my application is used in a manufacturing environment.  Any ideas how can I do this.  I was able to read the page with DataSocket Read but I don't know how to send data to the page.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi nelg87,

      ActiveX and the "DOM" are the only way I know of to programmatically manipulate web-pages - here's a related link with some attachments that may help. 

If you run into a snag, perhaps the switch supports another control interface, such as SNMP(?)

Cheers!
