FMForums Login via Open URL?

Featured Replies

Is it possible to use the Open URL script step to automatically login to FMForums? If so, what is the URL syntax?

Although I've just started exploring this aspect of FileMaker, I've had good success in opening websites using URL's defined in fields. It seems that a calculated URL could be constructed along the lines of:

"http://www.fmforums.com/logon?userID=" & Table::UserID & "?Password=" & Table::Password

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I wasn't able to turn up any relevant posts with several searches.

Thanks for any assistance.

unfortunately that is not possible as the php is using the POST method not GET so the data is not displayed via the url.

Thanks for the response.

Would you happen to know if sites like Yahoo and Amazon use the GET method? Is there a way to tell? In other words, is it possible to logon to any sites from inside FMP -- or is the GET method considered "low security"?
