Automatic Login using C#?

[moryoav]

I'm trying to write a small code in C# that will start by logging into the zen-cart admin. I tried to start with:

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://mywebiste/admin") as HttpWebRequest; 
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)  
             {  
                 // Get the response stream  
                 StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());  
               
                 // Console application output  
                 Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());  
             }

But what I get is the login page and I don't know how to enter the username and password. Is it possible to set zen-cart to accept a url in the format http://username : password@mywebsite ?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...

thanks...

Putting password parameters on the URL is EXTREMELY unsafe. That's why it's not a built-in option.

Zen Cart is specifically designed to NOT allow external programs to manipulate and control the admin unless you're using your browser and logging in normally.

What exactly are you trying to "write a small code in C#" for?
