I'd guess that many folks favourite tool, for a job like this, would be
cURL. I've often used it to provide command line access to remote web
interfaces. You should take a look at Sean's "cont" test, and the
modified "cont2" version (both on Deadcat). They are more general than
you would need, but they should give you some useful clues.

Cheers, Phil.
