keep session open after login page

Greetings We are in a need of a function written in C++ that performs a username and password "log-in" to a website and keeps the Internet session with that website open so other actions can be taken. An example for such web pages is " [[login to view URL]][1]" or [[login to view URL]][2]. We need a function which would log into websites like the above with a username and password and keep the internet session with the website open so other actions can be done without authentication in other parts of the website. An example of such "other actions" would be sending HTML POST/Get request to the "compose mail" form section of the above websites. The function will take the following arguments: URL, Username and Password. We also need a way to "close" the Internet session once we are done. We do not want to keep it open for ever. You can assume that our project can send HTML Post and Get request, however right now it cannot keep the session alive, so it cannot go beyond the log-in stage. You can also assume that POST method is used for login. This project might have a follow-up project that will add GET method login capabilities. Please indicate how you'll handle the next phase. Please contact us for any additional information. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
