dear team,

i m newbie of this macro here. and i would like to create one script to login into one page (aspx) in my company website there.

but i follow the httprequest.

For basic authentication where a username and password is required by the server before the request will complete put the username and password in the URL using the following format: http://username:[email protected]/etc.etc

Example:
HTTPRequest>http://master:123@localhost/peopleess/userlogin.aspx

but in the end, it did not login into it~

kindly advise.

That will do a direct HTTP post in the background and would only work for basic authentication. It won't be visible and will have no effect on your web browser session.

If you want to have internet explorer logged into a web page then possibly the easiest thing to do is just to record the login in WebRecorder. But other options are to simulate keystrokes / use image recognition etc.
